I have maintained that the $6T increase in US Federal debt since Obama has been elected is stimulus to the economy... relative to a balanced budget baseline. The $790B is just a part of the $6T overall stimulus. >> How are you measuring efficiency? I am not measuring efficiency. I am stating my opinion that spending money to dig holes and then spending money to fill those very same holes is not efficient at all... It is 100% waste. But Keynesians strongly believe a wealthy nation can be built with such an economic program.
