"The latest report from the U.S. House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee said Texas' highway stimulus funds were responsible for 23 new jobs through the end of May."

Texas officials worry that deluge of stimulus funds might not go to quality projects

Well now I am sure glad the stimulus worked for Texas! Champagne anyone?

I agree, Texas doesn't need any stimulus.

Lets give that money to a state in need.
