"It will create jobs!"
Sure, in the short-term. And when taxes are raised to pay the debt, more jobs will be lost.

$1M for waterfront walkway, park
Wednesday, August 19, 2009 By DENISE D. GIBSON JOURNAL STAFF WRITER Two Jersey City projects - the Hudson River Waterfront Walkway and a park at the Morris Canal Little Basin - are slated to receive $1 million in federal stimulus money. Gov. Jon S. Corzine made the announcement last week, saying the money is part of the $19.75 million in federal funding the state's Department of Transportation plans to use for 35 local quality of life, bikeway and pedestrian safety projects. "These Transportation Enhancement grants will stimulate economic recovery at the local level by improving quality of life and creating jobs," Corzine said. "In addition, the program complements NJDOT's $50 million increase to aid to counties and municipalities, which will improve locally owned transportation infrastructure and boost the economy." The grants are funded through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) as well as NJDOT's Fiscal 2010 Capital Program. The goal of the Transportation Enhancement program is to foster more livable communities by enhancing travel, preserving and protecting environmental and cultural resources, and promoting alternative modes of transportation, officials said.
