Even before the first shovel went into the ground on a project funded by the Obama administration's $814 billion stimulus plan, the program was under attack from Republicans who have called it a waste of taxpayer money. But now the White House is fighting back. A new report obtained exclusively by ABC News outlines the administration's top 100 stimulus projects -- a greatest hits compilation of what the White House considers the best examples of the stimulus in action. The full report will be unveiled Friday by Vice President Biden.

" funded by the Obama administration's $814 billion stimulus plan"

Correction: FUNDED BY RAPING WORKING/EARNING TAXPAYING FOLKS to pay off Unions and hand out to welfare parasites, and dumping debt on two generations of American taxpayers to buy votes.

What we have here is a failure to communicate
(or as CBO director states, ‘a serious disconnect’)

CBO director Doug Elmendorf (http://cboblog.cbo.gov/)
May 2010...
here’s a link to the CBO Director’s Blog and here’s what showed up there not long ago regarding the government’s inflows and outflows.

“The United States faces a fundamental disconnect between the services that people expect the government to provide, particularly in the form of benefits for older Americans, and the tax revenues that people are willing to send to the government to finance those services,” Douglas Elmendorf, director of the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office, writes in a May 17 blog post.

Addressing the current tax and spending gap to make fiscal policy sustainable is “an urgent task for policy makers,” Elmendorf says.

Devout Keynesians will have none of it. They’re concerned the government is doing too little. The U.S. isn’t borrowing and spending enough, they say, as if today’s spending is a free lunch or a free ticket to prosperity.

Even when the spending stops, the interest on the debt keeps on giving. The CBO projects that under current law, net interest on the debt will reach $723 billion in 2020, up from $207 billion this year. Ten years from now, five categories — Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, defense and net interest — will account for three-quarters of government spending. Four of them are on automatic pilot

The DIMocRAT “stimulus” plan IS working. People have been stimulated to buy guns & ammo, research survivalism, to become politically active, to vote, t9o speak out, to donate to conservatives. Yes, the “stimulus” is working.

Barry’s greatest stimulous hits appear to be employing an army of janitors to clean up toxic vacant lots and overpaying for modest construction - 175 million for refurbishing Staten Island Ferry Terminal? Why would that cost 175 million? It ain’t exactly a grand marble arch gateway.

I feel richer already. The low cost medical will be kicking in soon. It does my heart well that working Americans will cover the cost of undeserving illegals and ne’er do wells.

The first two projects create 180 jobs and cost us $190 million dollars. Are these people on crack or what? It would have been more efficient if they dropped the money from a helicopter.
