Not if it's going to their district.

And on a larger scale, the country seems to be in favor of the infrastructure spending in order to get the economy going. That's why the Democrats won so handily.

The idea of this stimulus package is to create jobs, not just flood the economy with money. I really don't see a better plan or anything to suggest one school of economics knows better than the Keynesian school.
