Come to Indiana. About every damn road and bridge is being repaired. My Man Mitch said from Day One he was going to use the money for road projects and he didn't waste one minute putting it to use. It's a pain in the ass right now but it will be nice when everything is done.
Thanks to our Republican Governor, Mitch Daniels, for not turning down the money like some other short-sighted Governors did. He did what was best for his state, not the Republican agenda.
I'm so happy my money and those of future generations went to improve the infrastructure that your state government let go to sh**.
You don't like it? Elect politicians who agree with you. If you're in the minority, sorry about your luck. This is the system the Founders set up. Republicans think the system the Founders set up is infallible, right?
I agree with my Governor, Mitch Daniels, that the Stimulus money was needed in Indiana, and it should have been used to improve our infrastructure. He's a sharp guy and that's why I voted for him in 2008.

Where in the constitution was the central government endowed with stimulus powers?
Stimulus by the gov means absolutely nothing to real job growth. The US government has never made a dent in job growth ever! Are all the unemployed supposed to work on construction crews? Wtf is stimulius then? All the gov does when creating jobs is to expand the government by creating more useless agencies and construction crews for projects that will expire. What else can they do? Answer: Get out of the way.
Is this the libs view of intelligent job growth in a (supposed) capitalist society? The real fact is Obama's looming healthcare has made most available jobs now be only part-time due to the looming expenditures. The burden is now heavier on the gov to pay for healthcare than it ever was before because businesses found a way to work around it. To get full time work is now a benefit. Great! If he would cut back the restrictions he put on businesses, job growth would explode. But no, 'the man'(your employer) is evil, let's take his money and redistribute it back to the government who doles it out as 'stimulus' to non-existant entities.
Ok how much of the 700 billion did these projects cost, and were they already funded before Obama took office, most projects takes 2 to 3 years of planning before construction can began. So most likely these projects were already in the pipeline just the signs were changed to say Stimmlus money used.
Yes this was one of those shovel ready projects which needed the stim. to be able to be compleated. If the stim. wasn't used it would not have been done.

The myth's of the right at there best. You need to ask how much work is being created by these projects. How many corp. in the area are able to increase its work force. That money moves through the local area and turns over.
The repub. method is to wait till the top 1% decides to mow there lawns or get there cars washed. With the top 1% holding on and keeping money from moving through the economy only thing to do is tax them and move it. The job creators have stopped creating and are holding on balance sheets or buying back stock neither of which helps the overall economy. This is why DEFLATION is the biggest econ. worry

Now he would have been a quality republican candidate for 2012.
The orginial stimilus bill was suppose to build bridges, and provide jobs what happened to the money? Union pensions plans get it?
Not all of it. Solyndra got half a billion..... and we know what happened there.
