We would have been better off giving money to the citizens of this country.
It just ticks me off reading lists like this then to have a democrat defend it or make excuses for it. To think the citizens of this country will be taxes thru the nose to pay for this one day

Its because nobody realize that there are tons of bad ideas to "create" jobs and very few with good ideas... but they have all this cash from taxpayers and they think it would be a "shame" to not "waste" it on something stupid otherwise it gets returned to the taxpayers... This is the law of "Other People's Money"... You got OPM?? Liberals do and if they don't, they will get it somehow... courtesy of the US taxpayers... It would of been too easy to say that the money MUST be spent wisely or the remaining MUST be returned to taxpayers... instead we just hand out blank checks to scams, fraud, or to further liberal ideology and reliance on the government...
I could use some spendulus money. If they give me $1,000,000, I promise to hire two people and employ them for at least a week. Then they can add two more jobs to the "created" list (regardless of how temporary they might be), and two to the "saved" list, 'cuz after all, who knows if my company would have survived without the handout, so let's just assume the worst - it makes the President and his cast of hundreds look better...

And to think he told us he was all for the average American, helping them find great paying jobs and saving their homes.
Guess he LIED AGAIN.
Maybe we need to put more things on C-Span like he promised us.
You know, the transparency promise gone bad thing of his.
He should be ashamed of himself for allowing OUR MONEY to be wasted like this.
Now we know why you cannot trust a liberal with your money.
Can't really blame this on Obama - this is the work of the 'good ol boys' in Congress - Dem and Repub, Lib and Con. It's just bidness as usual, even though our economy is basicly bankrupt. The money spent on "hookups" was money well spent though - I have been trying to figure that out for decades.
Before you run to defend your favorite congress person...and "just" projects..you better check who the big winners are on the contracting front. Nuclear Power Plant Contractors (you have many of those in your neighborhood?)..I dont know anyone in that line of work...oh, some "good Ol Boy" favorites: Battelle and SAIC (part of the terrible military contracting machine).
Youll find em here under: Recovery.gov "Track The Money" (catchy tag line)
