The federal government has spent $254 billion of the $792 billion authorized under the stimulus package, according to the latest numbers available on Recovery.gov. That figure includes $161 billion in direct spending and an estimated $93 billion in tax cuts.
The holiday season didn’t seem to slow down the spending. Stimulus spending in December was about $20 billion, according to figures on the site, which is the official hub for stimulus information. That roughly matched pace with the rate of spending the previous month.
