Each received $30 a month, $25 of which went home and they left refurbished trails and public rest stops built with stone that still serve us. We, again, need work on infrastucture badly.

Just one problem: there IS no job creation despite the spending. You can't make companies hire people; they're not. They're hoarding cash "to weather the storm".
