Another Stimulus Tool
From Reason.com’s twitter feed, another tool for average citizens to be engaged (well, as engaged as Congressional Democrats will let us be) with the stimulus bill. Here, you can vote for and comment on the urgency of the various stimulus projects. Each project has its own page and lists the cost and amount of jobs that will be created. Some “favorites” from those using the site:
- $100k for doorbells in Laurel, Mississippi
- $500k for a dog park in Chula Vista, California
- $621k for intercom and PA upgrades in Anchorage, Alaska schools
- $1.5 million to discourage prostitution in Dayton, Ohio
All worthy projects, but worth putting up to two generations of Americans another trillion dollars in debt?
