This site gives you an idea of what the government wants to waste your tax dollars on:
http://www.stimuluswatch.org/project/by_state
Their intentions are good, but if they were not so stupid, they would see that this approach is exactly the wrong thing to do!
They want to create "work", but not "jobs"... Sure, some construction workers will have a temporary job for a year or two, but in the end, they will still be unemployed, and the nation will be 3.2 TRILLION DOLLARS deeper in debt! What happens in 4 years, when we have spent 800 BILLION DOLLARS (before interest) on these tasks & everyone who was employed by this spending is unemployed again? This is not the way to create JOBS! By the time we pay this off (if we can, ever), the interest will have driven the final bill to 3.2 TRILLION DOLLARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
