I'm tired of people picking out projects by title or part of the description and making it sound like a rediculous project. The people doing the project don't think it is rediculous.. the people wanting the project done don't think it is rediculous. The media and the left and right sides of the political parties are good at picking out key words and phrases from things to get people bent out of shape about nothing.

Reminds me of the old lady that got burned by hot coffee at McD's. She has become the poster child for tort reform. But what you don't hear about that case was that she had several surgeries and required skin grafts the burn was so bad.

There's always more to the story than what the politicians and media want you to hear. If you read more about the story that makes you angry and do some REAL research on it, you will probably find that the projects, court cases, proposals in congress, etc aren't as crazy as you might think.

it's like having a staged soap opera. The boy just wasn't ready for prime time. He stages everything.......In the stage-managed event, questions for Obama came from a live audience selected by the White House and the college, and from Internet questions chosen by the administration's new-media team. Of the seven questions the president answered, four were selected by his staff from videos submitted to the White House Web site or from those responding to a request for "tweets."

The president called randomly on three audience members. All turned out to be members of groups with close ties to his administration: the Service Employees International Union, Health Care for America Now, and Organizing for America, which is a part of the Democratic National Committee. White House officials said that was a coincidence.

This is stupid. The idea of the "stimulus" is to stimulate the economy... not save the turtles, or porch mouse or any other government project.
Government jobs or work does nothing to stumulate the economy ... for if it did, then all we have to do to have a robust economy is have the government hire everyone ...
So how many real jobs have been created ... dicounting all government work projects? ZERO ... that is what $800 billion dollars has bought.
