With the amount of money he's going through, he should be able to do a
lot better than he is.

meaningless. the fact is most of the money has not yet been spent


Where are all the infrastructure projects he was going to get going?

ROFLMAO!! you know, i'm an engineer and when i see an idiot like you
make a comment like that, it just confirms my view of the right wing.
you've never worked on an engineering project, have you?

Herring claims he was a combat engineer or something like that during
the war he helped lose in Vietnam. Maybe he helped clear minefields.

As an aside, I have seen signs in Maryland proclaiming that all or part
of the projects being described was funded with stimulus funds.

In Virginia, it took about 1 second to find this:

The Commonwealth of Virginia will receive $4.8 billion from ARRA.
Individuals, private organizations and businesses, and local governments
are also eligible for this funding.

The infrastructure allocations include $123 million for highway safety
and construction improvements; $116 million for regional transportation
projects selected by regional planning organizations; $116 million for
bridge replacement or repair; $114 million for pavement preservation and
restoration; $96 million for road construction associated with the base
realignment and closure (BRAC) process; $70 million for sewage plant
work; $62 million for rail improvements; $28 million for urban transit
projects; $21 million for transportation enhancement projects; $14
million for small urban transit projects; $19 million for clean drinking
water projects; $8 million for "green" clean water projects; $4 million
for rural transit projects, and $184 million for the Washington
Metropolitan Area Transit Authority, shared with Maryland and
Washington, DC.

Timothy M. Kaine, Governor of Richmond, said, “The projects will pay
long-term dividends to all of us in the form of improved bridges and
highways, railways and other transit, sewage treatment and drinking
water.



Herring, obviously, still has his head stuck way up his butt.
