'Shovels hit the ground' on stimulus project, Obama says

here's some highlights...

He said the project will support 60 jobs. "And that's how we're going to get the country back on its feet," LaHood added.

Mark Compton, director of government affairs for American Infrastructure, said his company received $2.1 million in federal funds, by way of the Maryland State Highway Administration.

Compton said the cash infusion is the "catalyst" to create 60 jobs, including bringing back some laid-off employees.

He said he hopes the workers can be retained beyond this six-month project.


60 jobs!?!?!?


and how many were laid off just last week? 660,000!?!?!?


good job Obama

now go back to school and learn how to count

and their numbers don't jive here, unless there is other funding from somewhere else....


2.1 million would give pay the wages of the workers for the 6 months, unless they are paid really shitty, and leave nothing for material, equipment fees, fuel charges.... something just isn't right

Sitting with British Prime Minister Gordon Brown a little while ago, Obama reassured Americans that now is the time to buy stocks for the long-term.

^^^ that or some random hardcore obama supporter that surfs the net finding anything negative against their messiah and either rates it 1 star, or something equally ghey and pointless.....

or perhaps thats what some of that extra pork in that bill was..... and some of the jobs...

I admit the first one star thread was really me, even though you think im not cool enough:rolleyes:

and a couple after that cause you made me laugh by calling me a douche bag for the one star rating, you even went as far as making a thread about it which fueled my fire...

but it got old at least a few weeks ago


im surprised someone else stuck with the stalk and rate game we were playing
