True, trying to maintain the illusion that he is creating jobs (while ignoring the fact that they aren’t private sector jobs, but rather taxpayer-funded transfers of wealth). Any time a Democrat says “infrastructure”, an image pops into my head immediately of the women waving the traffic flags at construction sites - the affirmative action requirements for those contracts are burdensome.
Frankly, I'd not have been really happy with spending that kind of $$$ on bridges, etc .... but at least we'd have something to show for it afterwards.
I'll go out on a limb and guess that the (well-laundered) stimulus bill likely financed much of BO's 2012 campaign. But that's just my opinion.
