Obama: stimulus projects coming in under budget
WASHINGTON, April 13 (Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama said on Monday that a raft of major infrastructure projects being undertaken as part of his economic stimulus plan were coming in "ahead of schedule and under budget."
"What is most remarkable about this effort ... isn't just the size of our investment or the number of projects we're investing in. It is how quickly, efficiently and responsibly those investments have been made," Obama said at an appearance at the Transportation Department
