Replacing/repairing a lot of rolling stock that is going to have to e replaced no matter what at some point would seem worthy of consideration. Funding new weapons systems with this bill (thinking F-35 variants, etc) wouldn't do much to create jobs in any time-frame that would stimulate short-term employment. Just getting funds flowing faster for exiting programs that need to buy stuff now is probably best short-term stimulus you could do. But it is all about looking good, not doing good so none of this is going to happen.

So $600 Billion doesn't mean much when it's larded with much else. Apparently, Noah doesn’t realize that the “Defense” budget has a lot of stuff in it that has nothing to do with Defense.
