There might not have been any shovel-ready projects back then, but I think there’s a few pick-ready projects at the local correctional facility.
Well, I guess nearly anything the ‘rats say is shovel-ready ... to shovel all the BS off you when they finish speaking.
Lots of repaving projects on our roads as well. And I’m sure your roads work dept. erected rather large signs reminding the public that Obama’s putting people to work.
A majority of the roads being worked on had already been paved not too long ago. I’ve noticed that the road crews will work on busy streets and the highway, rather than the much needed work on side streets. That’s because the administration wants high visibility in an effort to convince the public that their money’s and government’s working for them.
Sure they’re working for us alright. We’re paying guys to repave roads just to pay them. Well, someone’s got to put up a front.
Every time our family drives by one of these projects I say, “there’s a our earned dollars at work; paving roads which don’t need paving”.
Sorry coloradan, post #6 was in response to OCC’s post.
