The only stupid questions are the ones that are never asked. So what happened to the stimulus money?

Obama is destroying our military readiness while stirring up as much global Muslim unrest as he possibly can. They’ve already swamped Europe and are infiltrating America as rapidly as they can.

It was spent on "shovel ready" projects.

It paid for teachers health care benefits in one of my state’s richest communities:

This was just two fiscal quarters in Massachusetts, stimulus money going to pay for teacher’s unions healthcare in Sudbury, MA.

FY 2010 Q2
MINUTEMAN NASHOBA HEALTH Health Insurance premiums for district employees $1,184,601
MINUTEMAN NASHOBA HEALTH School employees health insurance payments (Apr-Jun) $382,238
MINUTEMAN NASHOBA HEALTH GROUP 4th quarter FY09 health insurance premiums $265,251

FY2010 Q3
MINUTEMAN NASHOBA HEALTH School employees health insurance payments (Apr-Jun) $382,238
MINUTEMAN NASHOBA HEALTH Health Insurance premiums for district employees $1,184,601
MINUTEMAN NASHOBA HEALTH GROUP FY10 health insurance premiums $183,765
MINUTEMAN NASHOBA HEALTH GROUP 4th quarter FY09 health insurance premiums $26,5251
MINUTEMAN-NASHOBA HEALTH GROUP Health Insurance Trust $241,820
MINUTEMAN/NASHOBA HEALTH Emp por health insurance premiums for school employees $18,8029

The State had the website that was supposed to provide transparency, which it did, if you took the time to dig ferociously and determinedly through pages of dead ends and deliberately confusing layout, then exported the data and put it into Excel where you could slice and dice it to get the info out of it. I was pissed when I saw a state wildlife center that had been renovated in the town with stimulus money (you know the infuriating sign they use to stick it in your face, “Project Funded by The Recovery and Reinvestment Act”, and when I looked in through the locked windows of the beautifully designed and built ranger offices, there were Herman Miller chairs.

Herman Miller chairs.

So I went to find out exactly how much of my taxes were spent on it, and never did find out, but I kept seeing the MINUTEMAN/NASHOBA HEALTH thing keep popping up, and had never heard about it. When I looked it up, it was the health care plan used by the Massachusetts Teacher’s Unions. And Sudbury is one of the wealthiest communities in the state.

You can imagine where that money went, if this went on in this town, how much more of it went on everywhere else in the USA.
