The Truth About Stimulus Spending
In Just a Thought, July 28th, 2009
Is the stimulus money more about power or job creation?
The untold story behind the way Washington is doling out the Obama slush funds is the story of DC’s unquenchable appetite for control.
I heard the following story from more than one reliable source.
In constant meetings to determine projects worthy of stimulus money, no one at the local level is able to bring any order to the chaos. The politically correct police from the state capitol…overseen by a layer of DC regulators…are driving the effort. And woe be the local authority that suggests these bureaucrats might be misguided.
The results, bridges and roads in real need of repair are left untouched. Instead, millions are spent for a tunnel to connect two bike paths…and a median for a once bustling, but now nearly abandoned street.
This is a reminder of just how inept the federal government is when it comes to running everything from their palaces on the Potomac.
