I doubt it’s even that much.
The same people are running this Obama 2.0 The Totalitarian Years “administration” as were in 2009.
Remember the stimulus? Bribe money to every county. It’s the same regime, same grift.
Make work crap got done.
It comes down to designing a project which ends up being half-a-billion and one-third of it is written off as bribes/waste.
My brother in Illinois said during the “stimulus” the state laid a thin layer of asphalt on bad roads. A few months later the asphalt was rumbling and the roads worse than ever.
