"I’d like to know where Obama’s billion dollars for infrastructure went."

Forensic Audits for Everyone! Seriously, for Porkulus and all the $ at the State Dept. and to Libya and the Iranian $ etc etc. If we ever get the truth we will be gob-smacked, take that to the bank...

The first billion went towards billboards telling everyone about the OBAMA shovel ready jobs. There were signs in almost every town. /s

If Trump is going to talk about privatizing our freeways, I’ll side with Schumer on this one.

That money went to keep lefty bureaucrats in their jobs, not to anything productive.

obviously Obama became obscenely wealthy while in office. Do you suppose any stimulus money found it’s way into his off-shore bank accounts??

[[As WCBS 880’s Ethan Harp reported, Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-New York) addressed the infrastructure plan at Grand Central Terminal Sunday. He was once on board with the plan, but is now concerned with what it could really look like.]]

Then let New Yorkers pay for their own remodel .

These A-holes whine about money for the wall and piss away hundreds of billions of dollars on socialist give aways. The wall should be included in any infrastructure bill,$50 billion sounds about right.

Women's groups were appalled. Grids? Dams? Opinion pieces immediately appeared in major newspapers with titles like "Where are the New Jobs for Women?" and "The Macho Stimulus Plan."

I thought feminists insisted that women could do anything men could do. Nice to see they finally recognized the fallacy of that claim.

From that article:

“A team of six AP reporters who have been tracking the funds find that the $300 billion sent to the states is being used mainly for health care, education, unemployment benefits, food stamps, and other social services.”

Folks, that’s what happened. It was squandered.

The money was shoveled into the teachers’ unions, mostly for more administrators.

1. Illegal use of one's official position or powers to obtain property, funds, or patronage.

2. The act or an instance of extorting something, as by psychological pressure.

3. An excessive or exorbitant charge.
