There's an old joke I use frequently and it goes like this, "There are three great lies: the check's in the mail, I'll respect you in the morning, and I'm from the government and I'm here to help."
One of the primary markets of my employer is municipal waste water treatment facilities. We had (as in, used to have) a pretty good order book for April of 2009 but that has evaporated. Inside the business, we're hearing that it's the federal stimulus package to blame. Once the states and municipalities (our customers) knew federal money was coming they put our projects on hold until they can get the stimulus money in their hands.
We're shutting down the main plant for two weeks in April because of this.
I certainly don't feel stimulated at the moment.
