Investopedia explains 'Shovel Ready'
The phrase "shovel ready" is used when referring to projects that, if given stimulus money, will have the most immediate impact on employment and the economy. While stimulus spending on shovel-ready projects is designed to help the economy, it is possible that misguided projects will be undertaken simply for the sake of spending, and that government funds could be better used elsewhere.
