Im sure this isnt the ONLY place the stimulas isnt working..</p>

<font size="2">WASHINGTON -- An Associated Press analysis finds that spending on roads and bridges under the stimulus plan has had no effect on local unemployment.</font></p>

<font size="2">And the boost to the construction industry has been minimal. Local unemployment rates rose and fell regardless of how much stimulus money Washington poured out for transportation. In Marshall County, Tenn., which got a healthy dose of road money, local officials say unemployment continues to rise.</font></p>

<font size="2">Economist Thomas Smith of Emory University says, "As a policy tool for creating jobs, this doesn't seem to have much bite."</font></p>

<font size="2">President Obama wants another stimulus bill that relies in part on more road and bridge spending. He says the projects are "at the heart of our effort to accelerate job growth."</font></p>

You can't increase depth in a swimming pool by taking from the deep end and pouring into the shallow end.

Does anyone really expect it to work, it never has worked in the past, so what makes you think it's going to work in the future. Tax cuts for the people is what works. More money in your pocket and more money you spend on your hobbies...... emoLaugh .
