ParticipantWell let’s see… Maybe I am blind but it seems that every single one of these projects will definitely help… city employees. I guess I miss the part where I the 350 million will help create sustainable jobs in the private sector. Seems to me that this will create alot more work for alot more city employees. Perhaps they can take that 350 million and use it to fund the underfunded pension and medical benefits for the existing city employees? No I guess it is better to bloat the system up with lots more city employees. Why not!
Don’t get me wrong because the infrastructure of this city is pretty pathetic. However, it just seems pretty bad to me… It seems like there could be a better way to spend 350 million.
Good post afx.

heh, change. this nation is so screwed for the next 4 years at least. This stimulas bill isn’t going to do shit for helping the economy. It’s a blank check for government(fed/state/local) to spend on things that it can’t afford.
Like i said before, the best government is the one with the necessary checks and balances in place such that most things can’t get done. A democrat controlled gov, just like a republican controlled govern we had the past adminstration, spells extreme policies for better or worse.

February 8, 2009 at 7:48 AM #342805CoronitaParticipantInteresting what got cut from the stimulas bill.
http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/02/07/stimulus.cuts/index.html
Notice one thing that got cut partially. Spending on Smithsonian. Originally bill for $150million, now only $75 million.
Only 75 million???? On the Smithsonian???? WTF???? And how is this gonna help the economy???
$300 million from federal fleet of hybrid vehicles (original bill $600 million). Again, WTF???? I guess this is for ford and gm… But again, wtf??? $300 million for new cars???
And this one’s my favorite.
“The bill retained items that also probably won’t do much for the economy, such as spending $1 billion to fix problems with the 2010 Census.”
WTF?????That my friend is your hard paid tax dollars being well spent…
It’s ironic that this stimulas will be similar to how several americans spend and are now up the creek.
They will spend a few hundred million here a few hundred million there are absolute crap. And in the very end when the money runs out, they’ll wonder where did all the money go and what was it used for….No different that some americans that spend stuff on crap from walmart, and then months later ask what the hell happened to their savings and what benefit they got from all that junk.
