While I recognize that there's a lag time between authorization and the potential for actually spending the money to repair bridges and build SUPERTRAINS, it would have been pretty nice if instead of a dumb "here's some money" stimulus authorized months ago we'd embarked on a massive infrastructure repair and building project. Since we failed to do that "free money for people" will again be a bit faster but it's also a bit short-sighted. And, hey,
happy to do both. Whatever. Just give me my SUPERTRAIN.
