Stimulus Data?

Today, I did an Internet search for data on The Stimulus.  Not much in the way of definitive information.  One breakdown, found did not add up to $787B.  The CBO report is broken down into "legislative speak" categories.
 
Seems like funding legislation should be as simple as a spreadsheet - four columns - Description, Amount, WHY?, Performance Indicator.  Since its mostly lawyers in the legislature, I'm sure they'll want to add more columns.  But regular Americans only need the four pieces of information.
 
That would be change I can believe in.
