The link above is to an Interactive Map I see lots of signs in lots of places not sure if the work is being done so i cannot say these are failures 


Signs of President Obama's failed $862 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act – also known as the "stimulus" – are popping up all over the country.  The White House wants Americans to believe that these taxpayer funded billboards are signs of an improving economy created by government spending instead of the cold, hard reality that more than 14.9 million Americans can't find jobs. By focusing on creating jobs through government spending, the Obama Administration has failed to recognize that government doesn't create the jobs that power our economy – private business does.  If stimulus signs posted the truth, they'd say that the White House promised the American people that the stimulus would keep unemployment below 8%: today it stands at 9.6% and runs much higher in some states.  Instead, as many as $192 million stimulus dollars are being spent on these signs that try to sell Americans on the wisdom of a political agenda that has failed to deliver promised job creation.  Signs don't put America back to work, but they are being bought and paid for with your tax dollars in an effort to help President Obama and his pro-stimulus spending allies in Washington keep their jobs.  This is an outrage and we need your help to hold them accountable.
