The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act: Good or Bad?
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act: Good or Bad?

The $789 billion stimulus package is set to distribute $130 billion in transportation, environment, energy infrastructure, and public buildings. There is debate over whether the investment will really help America or the engineering industry in the long run. Some believe that the plan will only create short term jobs, which would boom the industry now, but bring it back to the same state it is now after the money is spent. Others agree with the nature of the plan, explaining that America is long overdue for these types of infrastructure investments and it will bring the U.S. up to speed with the 21st century. We have heard what Democrats, Republicans, and economist have to say about the stimulus package. What do the engineers have to say?
