OK. I found a State by State Break Down of the Stimulus Bill

*This data is current as of Monday 2/2.
The House and Senate version of the Economic Recovery and Reinvestment Act are of the scale and breadth necessary to begin tackling the economic chaos that President Barack Obama has inherited from former President George W. Bush. The various spending programs and tax cuts contained in the bills will help communities across the entire nation. These maps show state-by-state allocations for the aspects of the plan for which we could establish where the money is going. This constitutes 66 percent of the total cost of the package for the House plan and 68 percent for the Senate plan. The maps also show the proportion of the funds that will help each state balance their budgets rather than providing additional funding for specific programs.

** Note on the Headline: According to the 2008 census estimate, Texas population is 7.81% of the overall US population. So, our share is about right if based purely on a per capita basis. We are getting approximately 12% of the money targeted for states. 7.13% of over all spending.

But what is the bill really got in it?
I am still looking for USa...
