The bottom line is, you can't complain about two contradictory things.
Every day there are republican talking heads on TV complaining that X% of the stimulus money isn't being spent this year, it's being spent next year.
Then there are also republican talking heads on TV talking about all the wasteful spending (BTW wasteful just means spending I don't agree with...these guys have never seen a wasteful military base)
You can't have it both ways. You can't get all the money out the door yesterday to stimulate the economy AND also spend 6 months debating where every dollar goes.
Whether you like it or not, money spent anywhere in the economy does in fact stimulate the economy. If you gave direct tax rebates to consumers, alot of them would spend it on stupid shit too. That would still stimulate the economy.
