yes, only about 55 billion of the stimulus has been spent but the overall % of the moneys allocated for infrastructure verges on trivial. Especially in light of how poor the country's infrastructure is. overall grade is a D- on roads, bridges, tunnels, water, pipes, sewage disposale, etc. all of it.

hell, we get huge water main breaks throughout los angeles on a weekly basis.
