Anyway, you always have to read all of the information provided. Obviously reading the full bill would give you a direct and detailed reference as with reading the original document for anything. However, 5% or less of the American population will be reading the full bill, hence the website. There is more to the website than the bar chart and perhaps more details on specific programs under the categories will be released as details become available.

We have to have high expectations but realistic expectations.
Yes, it says right there in black and white that all of the spending will be specified once it's determined. I believe states and specific programs have to apply for some of it. We can't expect the federal government to just know which road projects, school programs, etc. need funding without states saying, "Hey! Over here! We've got this bridge replacement we need done ASAP..." (for example)
