| #6 "if it is a program that only reimburses costs as opposed to front end loading the money" You mean there are any of those, mhw? How'd the socialist Dems mess up and let that happen? |

| #5 FWIW, I agree with Frank G on this regarding infrastructure projects. However, many social programs are also slow to actually spend the money. This is especially so if it is a program that only reimburses costs as opposed to front end loading the money. |

| #4 just FYI - there aren't a whole lotta big projects environmentally cleared, right-of-way secured, final design done, just sitting on a shelf waiting for Uncle Baracky to deposit funds so they can advertise/bid/award and get constructing. However, if you are going to dump money on social projects, they can accept that money at day one. They just won't get people hired, the economy moving. |

| #3 Depends on where you live. A lot of Democrats ran as 'moderates' or represent conservative districts. Amazing things can happen when a politician realizes his / her job is at risk. |
