Each state should identify 10 infrastructure projects which are 1) in great need of replacing or upgrading and 2) would stimulate local economies the most.
These projects would be akin to replacing bridges on the verge of collapse, water piping to decrease loss and infrastructure erosion due to damaged and outdated piping, revamping of the electrical grid to reduce chances of large-scale blackouts.
Instead of handing this money to existing companies who already have plenty of infrastructure related work to do, put people without jobs back to work on these projects.
The American people are tired of stimulating the economy and not seeing ANY results. Lets get our priorities set, the funds freed up, and help for the "people" better their specific state and the nation overall.
