several beach communities have applied for further money from stimulus in order to replace sand. Yes, sand. Virginia Beach wants $10+ million for this purpose and with adding some local tax money they are estimating creating 60 jobs in the process
Great idea, isn’t it? So to a cost of about $200,000 /job (temporary) some people are going to shuffle sand. Which take how long? A week? If we stretch it, maybe a month? Oh, I think they are on to something here, digging and shuffling sand, it might be the end to unemployment. Maybe they can move all GM workers to Santa Monica? Pure genius really.
People are gonna miss Bush! Wtf this is insane....worse then Russia for fuck sake. Two people on a shuffle.
ReplyDeleteOh, this is just a small portion of this madness. I’m reading the entire suggestion right now, 1000+ pages of political mumbo jumbo. You cannot believe we’re all this money goes. And I though Social Democrats were wasteful...

Have you read the entire list of so-called "shovel-ready" projects? Now that even made a die-hard serious ideologist like me crack a smile. Some redneck hick town wanted a few hundred million to build square kilometer after kilometer of solar panels to be able to be self-sufficient energy-wise. The town had less than 10,000 people living in it.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the USSA.
And thats one of the better ones.. :) There is very few millions that will do any kind of good of the stimilus money, pretty much useless. In fact it would be better to burn it, at least then: lower inflation.
