With transportation being built, such as new highways, light-rails, ect, hundreds of jobs can be created. People will be paid and will start to pump that money they earn back into the economy. Also, with more public transportation, individuals will be ale to get to work in a cheaper fashion and will have extra money to spend on whatever they want.

I only care for myself. I think the government is always wrong because it tries to do what is best for many people. I only care for myself.

Initially we were hopeful, but maybe that was naivete? Unfortunately, it’s months after the your original post and we haven’t seen a significant portion of the stimulus impact our clients, or us.

It was mostly in response to the radio arguments that I hear about how spending can't possibly work. Smart grid for power would be a dream come true.

If they did a stimulus bill that was $500 billion (half the amount), all for improving our country's infrastructure, new roads, new mass transit, maybe even something like a smart grid for power, then maybe they would be solving this problem. However, this bill is double the amount and very, very little of it is for infrastructure.

Materials used in a project are typically only taxed once as the final product, the component materials used are generally tax exempt since they final goods/building etc are taxed. “The supplier for the construction materials and vehicles also pays taxes”
