The federal government has paid out $220 billion in stimulus dollars, according to the latest numbers from Recovery.gov and the White House (PDF). That figure includes $136 billion in spending and $84 billion in tax cuts. In all, Washington has paid out some 28 percent of the money set aside under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
