Now I'll not ask where the stimulus money went, but does anyone besides me think it could have been better spent?

Yep. The problem with the stimulus package is where it originated (in Congress). It became nothing but a huge trough of cash for the pork fanciers there. It was probably (perhaps even certainly) better than doing nothing in these tough times, but it could have been done a lot more strategically/intelligently methinks.
