The Stimulus was a Stop Gap

http://reason.com/archives/2011/07/07/the-stimulus-was-a-success

This is quite a bit old and dated, but was still an interesting find. It shows a different way of looking at the stimulus program for me. The money was not spent in the correct manner due to quirks in various state laws for it to truly be called a stimulus. It seems more to me now, that this was a pure handout to state and local governments to hold them over for a short time period.
