Contract: Lake View Towers Apartments $1,831,121 Chicago.
ZERO jobs created. This was to pay the owners of subsidized rental apartments. Don't they already get paid from our tax dollars?

Yea but that Failed Stimulus Package will sure get you a great view of the Lake if you can afford the rent!

The grants will provide 100 percent of the approved salary and benefits for entry level officer positions over a three year period. Police departments receiving the grants will then be required to retain the grant funded positions for a fourth year.

Fifty more cops for four years.

classicman · 02-10-2010, 02:49 PM

*shrug*

Your minds are completely closed on this one.

Classic has his sources and Merc had declared the stimulus program a failure despite all the evidence to the contrary that it has created and saved jobs and helped end (or at least, slow down) the recession.

It's all yours, guys!

Which jobs? The "Millions of Shovel Ready Jobs" they lied about in Feb 09 to get the Failed Stimulus Package passed or the ones the lied about in the fall of 09?

My sources???? WTF?? My source is stimulus watch.com Try it sometime. Then again, you better not, you probably won't like what you see.

My point was that if you had taken two more minutes, you could have found the details of the turkey breasts and cop funding that outraged you.

But all the facts would spoil that outrage.

Oh I'm sorry - How could I have possibly misinterpreted you.

I'll still take the word of the independent source over the biased one.

Looking over stimuluswatch.com, there seems to be many many such programs. Yes there are some related to infrastructure, but there are so many that seem to have nothing to do with building anything. I wonder how many of these organizations/companies/corporations that got these grants are "friends" of political people. I would guess a whole bunch of them.

TheMercenary · 02-10-2010, 11:11 PM

Why spoil a good outrage. I mean, really....

The Nazi's need to be eliminated from the Congress.

classicman · 02-10-2010, 11:21 PM

And for what its worth, I would have preferred to spend 5.3 MILLION on virtually anything other than fuckin ham. Ham sucks. If not roast beef at least turkey - sheesh!

TheMercenary · 02-10-2010, 11:36 PM

5.3 MILLION would have gone a long way to pay down some bad debts.
