Good question given the “STIMULUS” was nothing but outright thievery against the U.S. taxpayer that has to pay the bill. Where the money went we can probably guess with reasonable accuracy.
Obama acknowledged the BS of it when he said, “Well, I guess the jobs weren’t shovel-ready after all.”
The whole thing was as truthful as, “If you like your doctor...”
Stimulus works like this:
Project is approved for $1,000,000
1/2 is skimmed off the top by the various layers of govt it has to go through. Project is now $500,000.
Cost overruns on the front end eat up another 1/2.
By the time the funds get to the actual project, there is nothing left.
Project never gets done, but those in the pipeline get paid.
Actual purpose of the project in the first place.
