There were NO Funds used for anything in California as far as I can see.
I WATCHED with my own 2 eyes as Public Employees put up thoise Recovery Act signs up on EVERY EXISTING AND PRE-PLANNED INFRASTRUCTURE CONSTRUCTION PROJECT in Southern California.
NONE OF IT WAS NEW, it was all pre-existing projects. So where did the Money really go??
I have explained on other threads that i was building a very large public project in California when Obama came into office. We watched and commented upon how certain states, like California and Illinois, took projects starting, ready to start and about to start and stopped them while they added them to the list of Stimulus projects. The goal was to transfer state projects for the democrat states to Federal funding and then the State used their money for politically supporting THERE selected special people in research, education, law, and NGOs.
I witnessed that myself.
