I'm glad that we're back in reality with a separation of the stimulus and bailout--two different pieces of legislation in different years from different administrations.
You're right, Charlie, the stimulus bill did not include a lot of infrastructure spending--a little less than $50 billion out of the $830 billion that was eventually spent on the ARRA were earmarked for it, according to my quick search. Contrast this to the $275 billion in tax cuts. You're saying all this went to union members and Dem hacks?
The Obama-Christie hug came during a visit to inspect Hurricane Sandy relief efforts, iirc.
But getting back to Andrew's original list . . . y'all are in for quite a ride. We here in Canada are sure to catch a lot of it. The NEA is the least of my worries, although of course it matters, too.
