Spending a lot of money on a lot of projects versus spending that same amount of money on a few projects is what the author of this article wants to bring to out attention. He points out that a number of economist believe that a large number of smaller project will be more beneficial that a handful of larger projects. I have to agree on this issue for the simple fact that I can not imagine that one or two major projects could have the same effect on the national economy as a large group of spread out smaller projects. The smaller projects would impact different groups of Americans in different areas of the US. Therefore, I believe, more local economies would benefit from this.
I do wonder, however, if the management of these projects, large or small, will be managed like the financial bailout, where there was virtually no oversight by the government on the companies that barrowed the money. If this is the case then, I do not think that any amount of money or projects will be enough to help this economy.
