Question: Spending the Stimulus Money Wisely?

Have you been walking around town or driving down the highway and seen one of these signs?

What is interesting to me, is that when projects are funded by the Stimulus, then they are supposed to indicate that the project is funded by place a sign that advertises the "American Recovery and Reinvestment Act".
Is this a good thing?
Many may argue that it isn't, and that the money spent manufacturing the signs isn't going to "stimulate" the economy. But could it be a good thing?
I think there is something impotant that the signs indicate, it shows taxpayers that their money i being spent to improve the local community It shows that the government is at least trying to make a change.
Let's have a little faith... in the scheme of things a few million dollars isn't a big deal.
