There is no such thing as ‘shovel ready’ sitting on someone’s shelf waiting to go.

That’s okay, we can tell your heart is in the right place!
Well, we may not know what was done with the money , but we know where quite a bit of the money went and the places where the money went to were non existent, fictitious congressional districts
He did. Last week.
The money went to signs. I saw a lot of signs stating that this sign was funded by Obama.
Most roads and bridges are built and maintained by the State; not the Federal government. Hopefully Trump will focus this effort on Interstate Highways in Republican States. It would be wasted subsidizing bankrupted Blue states.

A lot of local/state road and bridge projects are funded 20-40% by federal money.
