Congress passed Porkukus early in Obama’s first term. It was supposed to have gone to infrastructure. Where the heck did that money go????
So I would note that congress didn’t exactly do nothing. They did pass porkulus but for unknown reasons we have nothing to show for it.

Actually, only a small portion of the Porkulus was dedicated to infrastructure.

It went to state and local governments, to keep their unionized workforces employed, so they would not suffer layoffs like so many did in the private sector.
Mass layoffs of unionized public employees would have pulled the power cord from the Democrats' money machine and put a serious crimp in their electoral viability.

It went to bailing out the big three and supporting unionized government workers in the states and cities.

They did build a bunch of overpass on the I-10 in the Coachella Valley. And on the I-215 though San Bernardino.

It’s not for unknown reasons at all. It was nothing but a $1T payback to local and state political patrons who supported Obama in the 2008 election.
