It seems to me that most of the new "stimulus" package or whatever you want to call it goes to government agencies, agencies to 'monitor' healthcare, research projects for universities, other regulation, etc. most of which is done by gov't, and that the government is getting fatter and fatter when the biggest hits (loss of jobs) recently have been in the private sector (largely ignored by stimulus $$). Folks who go to work in government at any level have no idea what goes on in private sector, they never make decisions with their OWN money, just spend ours. They never have to make a realistic decision or prioritize and sacrifice like private business and personal households do.
