"This doesn't look too bad to me: washingtonpost.com "

Especially when compared to the trillion and counting Bush completely squandered in his Iraq invasion and occupation. For which we got NOTHING.

Z, most of that spending went toward saving the budgets of state governments who should already be paying for all of this. Of course, state governments can't print money like the federal government can.

Only a small fraction of "stimulus" represented new spending.

Face it, it's a giant political slush fund. Just like the money for tanks that the army doesn't need.
