Even infrastructure work doesn't necessarily have that much staying power. In THIS case it might have been better to offer 1/2 Trillion in tax cuts and tax incentives along with more programs like "cash for clunkers". That $3 billion for cash for clunkers probably provided more job stimulus than $20 billion for some highway program. The tax credit for home buyers has probably done a LOT more good for the overall economy than a lot of this other stuff. When people buy houses they also buy carpets and drapes and appliances.
