CNBC to report on the cost of signage used to show Stimulus $ Projects
CNBC is, with contemptible laughter in Erin Burnett's voice, reporting the cost of the signage that is displayed on projects that were funded by the Stimulus plan. Regardless of what those results are, how about this fucking right wing asses:

IF YOU WOULD REPORT ON WHAT THE STIMULUS MONEY IS BEING USED ON, WHICH ACCORDING TO YOUR OWN REPORTS IS BASICALLY NOTHING ANYWAY, WE WOULDN'T NEED THE SIGNAGE!

It's basically shaping up to be a bashing of the stimulus money and the projects that the money is being wasted on. Typically hand picking and spinning the projects that are questionable to sound ridiculous.

Good stuff from CNBC again.

Of course every project in my hometown, large are small has a sign stating who the funder, the construction company and what the project is, but that means nothing. But it's cool for Citi and Goldman to hand out Bonuses and raise salaries in this economy and with Taxpayer dollars.

FUCK YOU!

1. Someone's being paid to make and install the signs
so it's still stimulating the economy.

3. They actually loathe the stimulus projects...

Well actually it's the borrowing that they are not comfortable.

I've been watching for years and I don't ever remember even a peep while Bush was turning a budget surplus into an ever expanding deficit during the boy Kings reign of irresponsibility.


choice of word.

4. According to Keynes, you could bury jars of money and this would produce stimulus
Being that it creates a desirable commodity which would stimulate production (someone needs to dig them up).

If people are complaining about signs being made, they don't understand stimulus.

Its better than people purchasing online porn with tax cuts
