Sure, there will be waste in the stimulus program

The question is how much. If the Energy Department has its way with regard to the cleanup of 18 nuclear sites, the waste could be fairly high as this is a $6 billion program. The GAO has designated past cleanup projects as "high risk because of fraud, waste, abuse and mismanagement". Yet, the same companies that couldn't pass the smell test with the GAO will be the recipients of our money. Not a good start.
