A Stimulating Stimulus?

Business Weekly Archive

Available for over a year

Is the stimulus doing its job of creating work? We report from California on how the money from Washington is being spent. Steve Evans visits a massive construction project near San Francisco. He talks to workers and managers, as well as the woman charged with making sure California's stimulus money is being spent properly. Plus, computer graphics that seem as real as life itself, and the tale of the multi-millionaire searching for a cure for his paralysis.
