Your stimulus dollars at work

To take a look at where the stimulus money is slated to go, how much has arrived so far, and what it's being used for IN REAL TIME, check out this interactive map at MSNBC. It gets interesting when you look at what's happening around your area. On the left, look at the drop-down box for "Contract stage" and pick "Awarded". Then click your state on the map, and check out your county and the counties nearby. Not a lot of the money has gone out yet. Anyone know why? Specifics woul ...

I had heard this a couple months ago and now I know why they waited so long to do something. MIDTERMS. Most of the Dems must think this will get them re-elected so they must be getting nervous over the midterm elections. White House considers pre-midterm package of business tax breaks to spur hiring With just two months until the November elections, the White House is seriously weighing a package of business tax breaks - potentially worth hundreds of billions of dollars - to spur hiring and c ...

The 2009 stimulus package funded millions of dollars for safety improvements for a dam in California that was in “good shape,” but not to the Oroville Dam that is now on the verge of a spillway crisis. Nearly 200,000 residents north of Sacramento were ordered to evacuate after fears that erosion would cause the emergency spillway to fail, which would lead to “catastrophic flooding“ from a 30-foot wall of water. Despite more than a decade of warnings about Oroville, there is no publ ...

Imagine if, one year ago, Congress had passed a stimulus bill that really worked. Let’s say this bill had started spending money within a matter of weeks and had rapidly helped the economy. Let’s also imagine it was large enough to have had a huge impact on jobs — employing something like two million people who would otherwise be unemployed right now. If that had happened, what would the economy look like today? Well, it would look almost exactly as it does now. Because thos ...

These results are from PAGE 1 of 10 on stimulus funds claims, many of which were made by the Romney camp in their recently launched offensive that would appear to be based on a compulsion to squirm and fib in an effort to deflect attention away from Romney’s offshore accounts.

It was only 9.7% in May 2009, and in December, it was 10.9. This doesn't include those who ran out of benefits. I just can't imagine how many are really out of work here. They stated we have 8,300 people out of work. That doesn't sound like much, but I think our county only has a population of 30,000, and most of them have had to leave the county to find jobs. ...

jobless unemployment benefit recipients, requiring ALL 9.8 million of them to pee on demand before their checks can be released. UI checks are released twice monthly, so I wonder if we will be required to test more often than ex-cons on parole. But they don't want to stop there. They also are suggesting to extend this requirement to include the 4.4 million families receiving TANF and any and all of the other millions of Americans on social assistance and subject them ...

Gov. Scott Walker spoke at an invitation-only event Saturday evening for a Republican fundraiser. Walker arrived in a convoy of six unmarked police cars that pulled up at 5:45 p.m. to the Steak Pit. Perhaps he should stay back at the mansion instead of racking up public employee overtime. ...

BAGHDAD – The U.S. Defense Department is unable to properly account for over 95 percent of $9.1 billion in Iraqi oil money tapped by the U.S. for rebuilding the war ravaged nation, according to an audit released Tuesday. The report by the U.S. Special Investigator for Iraq Reconstruction offers a compelling look at continued laxness in how such funds were being spent in a country where people complain basic services like electricity and clean water are sharply lacking seven years af ...

Is this a great country or what? (sarcasm) ...

This is really disgusting. I can't understand why people can't see through some of our Congressmen. Rep. Pete Sessions, the firebrand conservative from Dallas, Texas, has relentlessly assailed the Democratic-passed stimulus law as a wasteful "trillion dollar spending spree" that was "more about stimulating the government and rewarding political allies than growing the economy and creating jobs." But that didn’t stop the Republican lawmaker from reaching his ha ...

a registered Democrat announced his decision to leave the agency in a Washington Post column published Sunday, writing that his departure "had nothing to do with politics." Edward Price resigned from the CIA last week and used the Washington Post to explain his decision that he could not "in good faith serve this administration as an intelligence professional." Price wrote that his "decision had nothing to do with politics," and that he "would have been proud to again work under a Republican ...

How much money does it cost for Air Force One and the presidential motorcade to be in Charlotte to campaign for Clinton? That is our money. I tried to find out if it is common for the sitting president to go out on the campaign trail for the next president and found that in most cases, they were very careful not to get too involved. - but Obama doesn't care and neither does Hillary - they think they can do no wrong..... I still believe that when we elect a president, th ...

We're talking the London School of Economics here, folks. They don't come much higher on the educational ladder than that. Some people don't seem to understand that the climate warming scam is all about two things: Power (control) and money.

Hopefully they will succeed in this endeavor - sooner rather than later.

I totally agree! - sm
