the beautiful job they did with stimulus money on..........

Allocation of scarce resources with multiple possible uses is always handled best by market forces. Where that money would have gone in enhancing structures of production if left in the pockets of those who earned it is unknowable a priori. Experience confirms it would have worked toward ratcheting upwards available and affordable goods that people actually desire..

I, too, live in WA. When an utterly useless string of fire hydrants (probably a half mil + worth) appeared along a rural section of highway 101 I knew I smelled a rat. Sure to hell! A dinky-ass water improvement project was blessed with "stimulus", so bureaucrats pissed away a pile.

Multiplying that across the nation gives a glimpse of the harm these dirtbag perps caused.
