What others are saying
- ChangeChange is for vending machines, dollars drive capitalism.
- ComplainingI was in the minority, along with 46,000,000 other Americans. I can complain if I damn want to, you maggot.
- same contractorhmm.. makes you think that these awards are going to different contractors - but in reality the DOT only awards contracts to the 'lowest bidder' and the majority of the time - its the SAME bidder who wins all the contracts. So tell me - where is the stimulus in that?
- DOT hands out stimulusThe majority wanted it (him)
Stop complaining unless you were in the minority. - StimulatingWow! More orange barrels in my way. I sure feel stimulated.
- Stimulus???Great! So let me see if I have this correct. If you are an illegal alien working for a road paving company, it looks like you will be the beneficiaries of the Obama stimulus money that was confiscated from future generations of legitimate, tax paying Americans.. Now THAT is "change you can believe in"!!!
