The only shovel ready stuff went to unions and now the people are going to shovel out the govenors and others who stood with Obama on this poop.
I am in CA too.
I remember when, just after the Stimulus passed and ‘shovel-ready’ projects were said to have their kick off, a friend of mine drove from Lake Tahoe to Lawrence Kansas. The trip took twice as long as it normally would because there was road construction slow downs literally every 15 miles. My friend and her family would crawl through miles of road construction, reach the other side and speed up before hitting, in 10 - 15 miles, another road construction crew. This occurred the entire distance shortly after Lake Tahoe and then all the way to Lawrence Kansas. Numerous Stimulus signs dotted the roadway. My friend and her husband, computer and math geeks, estimated that the US could not have relocated every piece of road equipment to one corridor - regardless of shovel ready bragging rights. No, they deduced that the US had to have outsourced equipment and crews to foreigners in order to sustain, long term, that kind of construction. I wonder if we were able to ‘stimulate’ growth in outsourced companies?
