You can't be serious! Fiscal stimulus project**********? You have to be kidding! Either that or you're posting from some European nation.... and/or have no knowledge of America... or American history.

Maybe... you would enjoy reading a little bit about how Eisenhower got his idea for an National Interstate System. You see when Ike was just a Lt in the Army Corp of Engineers..........

(spoiler alert) The Army excursion across America by road... traveled over 10 hours a days for 56 days.

No. That isn't true. Any politician that tells you that... is picking your pocket. Government spending.... is like making noise in the kitchen. No guarantee of a fine dinner to follow... could just be kids playing.

And... throwing a hook into the water doesn't put fish on the dinner table either. MOST modern government spending projects do NOTHING to help provide a better or healthier economy.
