We hit heavy traffic just south of Fairfield. I drove past a sign declaring that the construction project was funded by ARRA. Got to Air Base Blvd a half hour later. There was not a single construction vehicle or worker in sight. That pretty much sums up what ARRA does: spends our money on nothing. I also find it very difficult to believe that any construction on I-80 was not already funded by DOT before ARRA. There is no freaking way that project was "shovel ready" and unfunded.
