Well if it is 55 billion implemented that is not even 10% of the package...and when you say the % allocated for infrastructure is trivial...I assume that you are referring to the 55 billion...as it was and is my understanding that a great deal of the stimulus package is to be spent on creating jobs in and building up our infrastructure. Unfortunately when it comes to what is said and what is actually done is very often quite different.
