Equalizer there needs to be a clarification between stimulus and spending. If you want to “spend” money, 350 million on this sort of stuff then simply call it that. However that sort of spending will not stimulate the telecom industry or the biotech industry. It will not get a college grad in engineering a job. Like I said in my other post that was Dave Ramseys idea, stimulus of the private sector to retain jobs, is more important. Putting every egg into infrastructure improvement to me seems rash. I would settle for at least some in infrastructure improvement and some in the private sector.
It just “appears” to me like this is a spending package that is not unlike a large thank you note to the unions.
