Here is a list of just a few of the pork project of the year called "stimulus package".

All pork is now considered "job makers"...hey someone has to build these things...Jesus.

Which of the things on that list won't create labor demand? What exactly do you want from a bailout, iam? The very definition of the idea of stimulus via infrastructure is pure, unadulterated pork - expansion of the government.

actually, a lot of this sounds like good stuff. longer taxiways? sure. longer taxiways means more and bigger aircraft, and that encourages commerce. ditto expanding port terminals and container yards. energy-efficient elevators and escalators? sounds great. more efficient, less polluting buses? makes sense. add-ons for aging courthouses? i'm not sure i see why we're supposed to let courthouses just crumble and collapse. and the sand-bypassing system sounds like something i'd need to know more about. (remember sarah palin's sneering crack about money being wasted "experimenting on fruit flies," when fruit fly experiments are one of the linch-pins of modern genetics? )

we can't all live and work in cardboard refrigerator boxes just so republicans can turn ALL our tax money into border fences and bunker busters. buildings and public motor vehicles aren't necessarily a liberal conspiracy, you know.

the point is quite simple, liberals will find no fault with virtually any spending that is not defense related.

the question is, how does any of this crap stimulate the economy ? its all temp labor. great for mexico, useless for America.

and of conservatives, the exact opposite is true. if our taxmoney isn't going to blow the arms and legs off a dark-skinned infant halfway across the world, it gets called "socialism." apparently if we live in america we're all supposed to live in trees and skewer fish with sharp sticks for food.
really? courthouses and buses are useless for america?

How about an idea the federal government hasn't tried in decades?

SPENDING CUTS!

When you only have $10, don't spend $20 (or $50).

Nah. Way too radical an idea.
