It's our fault: We elected them

Did you see this in today's Wall Street Journal?

"As President Barack Obama's $825 billion economic-recovery package began making its way through Capitol Hill, congressional budget analysts suggested a key plank of the plan may not provide as big a near-term lift for the economy as expected.

"The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office projected less than half of the $355 billion that House Democrats want to spend on highways, bridges and other job-creating investments is likely to be used before the end of fiscal 2010. The CBO said the balance would likely be spent over the next several years, after the recession is projected to end."

We are in what everyone says is our greatest financial crisis since the Depression, and our elected offiicals create a program which will help us AFTER the crisis is over?

It doesn't exactly inspire confidence.
