I am still curious about what happened to the billion(s) dollar Stimulus appropriation earmarked for infrastructure in Obama’s first years. Remember he “shovel ready projects.”

It was shovel-ready bullshit. I saw road crews sitting around in trucks while repair equipment was tearing out and rebuilding shoulders and embankments that didn’t need repairing. Billions wasted to give people the warm and fuzzies. Liberals can burn in Hell.

The first billion went towards billboards telling everyone about the OBAMA shovel ready jobs. There were signs in almost every town. /s

That money went to keep lefty bureaucrats in their jobs, not to anything productive.

The money was shoveled into the teachers’ unions, mostly for more administrators.
