I just returned from a 2500-mile road trip and can tell you from first-hand experience that Obamabucks are being spent on the highways in a grand fashion in all of the 7 states I drove through. Like it or not; agree with it or not, progress is being made regarding the rebuilding of the infrastructure.

This is a sign that I saw often:

Aaron - You are so naive. Don't you know that "Putting America to Work" is just another name for Socialists Enslaving Americans?

Hey, I just wanted to say it before someone else did.

the signs?

JA: Naive is not a word that has ever been used to describe me by anyone who has met me. That is because it is an absurd notion.:rolleyes:

And, if you believe yourself to be living in a country with a democratic government, or even a federal republic, then you may want to do a little more reading and looking around . . .:D

A.D.: Can't tell if you are taking my post seriously. I could not have been more sarcastic. Hmmm..., maybe you are naive after all.

Why did it take this act to rebuild the roads? Isn't that one of the primary functions of the government and should have been occurring all along? (Assuming they were interstates.)

Anyways, back to your original post...........

I guess you have not driven anywhere for a while. Every highway I drive on is always getting work done to it whether it be minor fix up or major overhall. Personally I have not seen anything out of the norm.

Do you ever drive on 30 ??????? or 20 ??????? or 35 ??????? Always some darn thing being fixed.

Not to mention. They have only actually given out a small portion of that 700,000,000,000,000..............OOOps I think I put a few extra zeros in there. oops, waite, I know why I put those zeros in there. That is probably what it will cost us in the end.

OOOOOps :D :) :D :)

In the you can't make this stuff department:

$18M Being Spent to Redesign Recovery.gov Web Site (http://blogs.abcnews.com/thenote/2009/07/18m-being-spent-to-redesign-recoverygov-web-site.html)

The new Web site promises to give taxpayers more information about where their money is going than the current version of the site.
“Recovery.gov 2.0 will use innovative and interactive technologies to help taxpayers see where their dollars are being spent,” James A. Williams, commissioner of GSA’s Federal Acquisition Service, says in a press release announcing the contract awarded to Maryland-based Smartronix Inc. “Armed with easy access to this information, taxpayers can make government more accountable for its decisions.”

RN: Simple. GWB only spent money where his friends would benefit. He had no friends in the highway and bridge building business.

Only 7% of the $787 Billion "Stimulus" has made its way into the system and only a small portion of that has gone to infrastructure projects.

I wonder how much went to produce and install those pretty signs?

And how much of that figure, whatever it may be, went to the sign manufacturer and his employees, their suppliers, the suppliers' suppliers, all of the service professions that support all of the above, etc., etc, ad infinitum?

Money that circulates stimulates.:D
