A year to the day after President Obama signed the massive stimulus bill into law, the administration is talking it up, but where's all that money actually gone? Josh Levs, can you actually breakdown every single cent for us?

JOSH LEVS, CNN CORRESPONDENT: I wish. That would actually make me really happy if we can get that specific. We're getting pretty close. We're getting there. Here's the basic idea. You know, we're taking a look back because it was signed into law one year ago today. Happy birthday, stimulus. We were trying to check back on what this administration said about it in general, and here is one thing that President Obama said at the time.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

BARACK OBAMA, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: I hope this investment will ignite our imagination once more, spurring new discoveries and breakthroughs in science, in medicine, in energy to make our economy stronger and our nation more secure and our planet safer for our children.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

LEVS: Now, there's no doubt the stimulus money has gone to all sorts of different projects, but what so many people keep asking us is where is this money going, how much is it? Let's get straight to the numbers. A lot of people want to see this.

First of all, according to the Congressional Budget Office, the total cost of the stimulus over ten years, $862 billion, but what a lot of people may not realize is the majority of it actually does not go to funding projects out there. The majority of it is going to things like tax cuts, benefits like social security and food stamps. Here on your screen how much money has actually been spent from the total. A $119 billion have already gone to tax cuts, and $179 billion have already been paid out, and that includes - you can see down there, $31 billion on projects.

So, the things we talk about the most like road projects, and science projects, and these kinds of things, when we're looking at that, we're seeing $31 billion, Kyra, in total that's actually been spent on those kinds of projects, and that what we're breaking down for you here at the stimulus desk.

PHILLIPS: What about jobs?

LEVS: Jobs is the biggest thing a lot of people want to know about, right? What we hear from the administration a lot of the time is they say, they believe there are 2 million people working today who would not be working otherwise. I'm going to break this down for you really intensely over the next hour. I'm going to break it down in the 10:00 hour, but I'll tell you for now, there is no such thing as one very clear number of jobs because it depends how you define it, and that feeds all these different arguments out there, and that's why you got to be there with us when we really break this down for you coming up in the next hour -- Kyra.

PHILLIPS: All right. I bet the viewers have a lot to say about this as well.

LEVS: They have a lot to say about this. In fact, let's do a couple of things here. Let's show everyone how you can weigh in, because we gave you this address yesterday. We got my screen right there, CNN.com/josh also CNN.com/Kyra. Facebook and Twitter, joshlevsCNN. So many people weighing in with a lot of questions, a lot of you are saying, hey, the stimulus is not helping me. I want to give you a little sense that we have coming up for you today, so I'm going to show you two things really quickly.

First of all, this is my team behind me. Over here, you're going to need to know this guy. He's Ben Tinker (ph) who's doing a lot of research for us, and the reason you need to know, he is not only doing research here, but he's also become a baker of sorts. Kyra, I want to show you a cake here. Come on over. We have Rob, the cameraman. This is our producer, Rachel. This right here is the stimulus birthday cake, Kyra. Check it out. He went to a bakery yesterday. He asked them to make a pie chart on a cake for the stimulus, and they had no clue what he was talking about.

So he actually baked in his own place last night, and he is showing us -- this is the total stimulus, and this chunk right here is the amount that will ever go to projects, $275 billion in total going to projects from the stimulus. Thank you, Mr. Cake man! PHILLIPS: (INAUDIBLE) Ben. I love that. Yes.

LEVS: We are going to eat it this afternoon.

PHILLIPS: Sounds good. All right. Save me a piece.

LEVS: You got it.

PHILLIPS: The least expensive piece.

奥巴马总统将大规模刺激法案签署法律已经一年时间，政府正在对此大声公开讨论，但是所有这些资金到底流向了哪里呢？Josh Levs，你能够真正的了解每一分钱的去向吗？

JOSH LEVS，CNN记者：我希望如此。如果我们能具体了解资金的去向，我会非常高兴。我们已经非常接近了。这是一个基本的想法。你知道，我们现在回顾一下该法案是因为，一年前，该法案由总统签署法律。我们应该祝刺激法案生日快乐。我们将会答题上和对一下政府的说法。下面是奥巴马总统当时所说的：

美国总统奥巴马：我希望这次投资能够再次激发我们的想象，刺激我们在科学，医学和能源方面做出新的发现，取得新的突破，使我们的经济更加强健，我们的国家更加稳定，我们的星球更加安全。

LEVS：现在，毫无疑问，刺激资金已经流向各种各样不同的项目，但是，许多民众一直询问的是，这些资金到底流向何处，具体金额是多少？让我们直接说一下具体数字。这是许多人都希望看到的。

首先，根据国会预算办公室的记录，十年期间，措施有的刺激资金总数是8620亿美元。但是许多民众没有意识到的是，这笔资金的大多数并没有用于为具体的项目提供资金，而是流向减税，社会安全和食品券等福利。现在屏幕上显示的是所花费资金的具体数目。1190亿美元用于减税，1790亿美元已经支出，包括——下面看的到，310亿美元用于工程项目。

所以，我们谈论最多的例如道路工程，科学工程等项目，这些项目将总共花费310亿美元。以上就是我们对刺激刺进流向的分析。

PHILLIPS：那么就业情况呢？

LEVS：就业是许多人希望了解的问题。对吗？我们多次从管理部门听到的是，今天又200万原本没有工作的人找到了工作。接下来的一小时我会对这一点进行详细的分析，大约在十点钟。但是现在，我要告诉你，关于就业没有非常明确的数字，因为这完全取决与你怎样定义，这样就可以理解外面所有的争论。

PHILLIPS：好的。我相信观众对于这一点也有很多话要说。

LEVS：他们对这一点确实有很多话说。实际上，现在让我们先做几件事。让我们先告诉大家怎样提问题，昨天我们已经给出了地址，现在就显示在屏幕上，CNN.com/josh also CNN.com/Kyra. Facebook and Twitter, joshlevsCNN. 所以许多人提出了很多问题，许多人说，刺激计划并没有对我产生什么帮助。我希望能够让你产生这种感觉，今天我将为你分析两个方面的问题。

首先，位于我身后的是我的团队。你需要认识这个人，他就是Ben Tinker，他为我们做了许多研究工作。你需要认识他的原因是，他不仅进行了研究，还成为面包师。Kyra，我想让你看一下这个蛋糕。还有摄影师Rob，这是我们的制片Rachel。这里就是我们为刺激计划庆祝生日的蛋糕。来看一下，他昨天去了面包店，要求他们在刺激计划蛋糕上做出圆形统计表，他们完全不知道他说什么。

所以，昨天晚上他在自己的住处烘烤了这个蛋糕。他向我们展示——这是整个刺激计划，这里的一块是将流向各种项目的资金，整个刺激计划中将有2750亿美元流向各种项目。谢谢，蛋糕王先生。

PHILLIPS：我非常喜欢这个蛋糕。

LEVS：我们今天下午将吃掉这个蛋糕。

PHILLIPS：听上去很好。给我留一块。

LEVS：一定会。

PHILLIPS：留下价格最低的那一块。
