Ike signed it into law in 1956. Largest infrastructure bill ever. Ten years later America had an Interstate system of highways.

Anyone think Biden will get one bridge completed in ten years?

Obama showed it won’t.

“A May 21, 2009, article in The Washington Poststated, "To build support for the stimulus package, President Obama vowed unprecedented transparency, a big part of which, he said, would be allowing taxpayers to track money to the street level on Recovery.gov..." But three months after the bill was signed, Recovery.gov offers little beyond news releases, general breakdowns of spending, and acronym-laden spreadsheets and timelines." The same article also stated, "Unlike the government site, the privately run Recovery.org is actually providing detailed information about how the $787 billion in stimulus money is being spent."[82]

Reports regarding errors in reporting on the Web site made national news. News stories circulated about Recovery.gov reporting fund distribution to congressional districts that did not exist.

American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. What a total waste of money. You can still see the orange cones and signs "Your tax dollars at work" along I-5 in OR. No work has ever been done, but the signs are still there.
