Shovel ready
''Shovel ready'' is a political term used to describe construction projects (usually larger-scale infrastructure) where planning and engineering is advanced enough that, given sufficient funding, construction can begin within a very short time.
==History==
Writing for ''The Washington Post'', writer Manuel Roig-Franzia sardonically suggested that the phrase did not exist and had never before been used until President Barack Obama used it during an interview with ''Meet the Press'' on 6 December 2008.〔President Obama on ''Meet the Press'' to describe projects for his stimulus plan during a ''Meet the Press'' interview - ()〕〔(''Obama Brings "Shovel-Ready" Talk Into Mainstream'' ) by Manuel Roig-Franzia, Washington Post (8 January 2009)〕 Obama used the phrase to describe infrastructure projects that were ready to immediately receive stimulus funding.〔("The Obama Buzzword That Hit Pay Dirt", Washington Post )〕
Later, other commentators suggested the phrase denoted projects which were able to begin construction within a specific time-frame of ''"three or four months"''〔(''"Shovel ready" projects aim to get money working fast'' ) by Robert Gavin, Boston Globe (20 January 2009)〕 on a ''use it or lose it'' basis.
