Most definitely it should not be sold as a stimulus deal. As far as the the original $150 billion spent, certainly inefficency and pork can account for lack of stimulus growth. Also, the way the government works it is very slow. The BRAC (base realignment and closures) that were instituted in 2005-06 are just now being bid on by contractors. Long time and red tape to get the the ball rolling.
