V.P. Biden on health care, immigration and the economy

Vice President Joe Biden did a conference call with "regional" reporters today, which I assume is a press office euphanism for "bunch of people not important enough to be in D.C., which is the only place anything important happens."

I was too far down the line to ask a question, but it was an interesting conference call nonetheless. Coverage on the main site:
Biden was asked whether a Web site breaking down all the federal stimulus spending would be provided as promised. The vice president said there are several Web sites now, but all the information is being consolidated into one site, which he hoped would be available this summer.

“(People will) be able to zero in on a county or a state and be able to determine exactly how much money ... is being spent in that state, on what project, for what purpose (and) whether it’s on time or not on time,” Biden said.
