If he is going to spend this much, surely we will benefit in some way- where in the world is all this money going to go?

I guess what I am asking is... how will this Spendx10 budget benefit the people who are actually paying their taxes??

What in the world???

We don't get much. Too much of the expenditures isn't going for 'things'. It is going to keep benefits to the UAW, bankers to write down their losses, home owners to refinance their houses. Some will go into research and infrastructure projects. Something like 5% of the 'stimulus' bill actually went into roads, bridges, etc.
