Given that Republicans have more kids than Democrats you'd think that education actually goes mostly to Repubs.

You're forgetting the teacher's unions.

but I wonder how easy it is to get money flowing to projects which aren't just hole-digging enterprises quickly.

It probably wouldn't have been possible to spend much more on construction in a timeframe that would actually provide a stimulus. The stimulus bill as passed will spend tons of money in 2010, 2011 and beyond, however; I would've preferred it if that spending had not been approved at all or was devoted more toward infrastructure.
