The ARRA stimulus has done a lot toward fixing some highways in the past few years, while also giving people temporary jobs at the same time. Republicans love to hold this up as a "waste" of money just like they cite any welfare program as "giving away" money, and I have yet to see the Democrat who will point to the local communities and states where all that money is being spent and explain, very simply, that it all stimulates those economies and helps some businesses STAY in business. If they weren't such pussies afraid of being shouted down by the Jesus voters angry that they're gradually losing their white privilege in modern society, they WOULD.
