OT: What San Diego wants from the stimulus package

Which is why economists like Krugman say that the bill is too small and that we need to be increasing spending rather than cutting it.

Using your math, if the original $600m was spent rather than cutting it to $300m, that works out to roughly 30,000 hybrid purchases, around 10% of all 2007 hybrid sales. Is a 10% increase in sales during a recession/depression still hardly a dent?

And then under the radar the funds for these so-called shovel ready projects will be diverted to San Diego’s unfunded pension obligations.

Remember? The Golden Parachute’s for San Diego city/gov’t employees they gave themselves, that at the end of the day nothing was done about?

I wish they would speed the 5 expansion process/ toss dollars at it.. The 15 expansion has resulted in lightened traffic, the 5 needs the same expansion just as bad.

1. I doubt each vehicle will cost $20k, more like $30-36k.

2. I didn’t include the cost of procurement of these vehicles (i.e. government buyers). This will probably cut into 10-20% of those vehicles.

The dent I was refering to was the savings from 650,000 fleet vehicles of which 20% (121k) are already AFV. This is like 2% change of the current fleet. Pelosi’s jet uses more fuel than this would save…

Why don’t we make it equal to the GNP for the last 8 years… That should cover every possibility…

“I can’t be out of money, I still have checks…”

Let me get this right, if you max out you credit cards, you can go to your employer and they have to give you a raise based on your current expenses…

I would sure like to work there..
