The NSF has put up a "recovery" page for the stimulus bill: http://www.nsf.gov/recovery. Interestingly it appears that there is an link to an rss feed for "weekly reports." These appear to be excel files of the spending done by the NSF under the stimulus act as of that week (so far nada has been spent.)

Cool, now we can set up a betting pool for spending amounts as of a given date :)

Nah, we need to create synthetic vessels for the linear combination of different spending options, and then hedge the difference in spending under different scenarios.
I think if we do it right we may get an infinite amount of money, either that or I divided by zero somewhere.
