I have to veer off course a bit, will apologize in advance...
This past week my wife and I watched our money being spent on shovel ready projects.
What the City had decided to do, was plant approximately 40-50 trees along both sides of the road. Ok, fine and dandy we all love trees.
However, this is Eugene Oregon.... everything grows well, when planted at the right time of year..These guys are stuffing 6' trees in holes along the road, in 80-90 degree sun. Then at the base of each tree, are 3 -5 gallon water buckets. They have three guys walking to a water truck, then returning to each tree with a bucket of water. I'm keeping track of their progress, since I don't work and have nothing better to do.
Now honestly, doesn't that sound foolish.. Do you spend your money that way? I guess I do.
Some of Obamas stuff is no different. Cash for clunkers,, frankly sucked big time. His, or I should say our health care Bill, is more of the same,, we can not afford it.
Now we get to pay for a law suit against AZ???
Makes me want to tear out my hair at times......
Does anyone honestly think paying a road crew to re-surface miles of roads with rock chips, is a good investment for jobs?? Well, maybe the windshield companies do...
