"shovel ready" jobs and projects

[dnf777]

Instead of responding to a response, how about a response to the original post about the shovel ready projects that were ready to go across the counrty. anyone, anyone, independants, Buehler?

We've had two federal-stimulus funded programs in our town. An elementery school upgrade, and a bridge replaced. Didn't say how many were employed, but it looked to be about 50 at each site.

I'd like to read about those if possible. Can you name the bridge and school? Thanks. Being in construction myself, I know how those types of jobs are budgeted, bid and built. Seems like a stretch to think that either of these projects were funded with stimulus money.

Yes, RK, it is deja vu all over again. When faced with facts that don't agree with your agenda, you make character attacks and totally off-subject comments, rather than face the facts. I don't expect anything more from you.

Just this once, try to respond the to subject matter. Please. Then you can go back to being your regular self.

dnf its great to see those funds appropriated but......you have only listed totals, you have not told us exactly how many jobs were created per dollar.

dont you think that is a real factor to consider?
$25 million for 65 jobs is a common theme with this stimulus bill - and that just dont cut it with me.

and now even Obama admits it - so really, how can you defend what HE already admits is defeat?

that wasn't the question I was answering. Sounds like a nice research project for a guy who works at home on his computer. I have to travel to a satellite clinic tomorrow in Clarion, so knock yourself out. I can't wait to see the results.

Hew asked a legit question, and got an answer. RK just nipped at the heels with a meaningless jab, and will probably sulk away when debunked, as usual.

It's actually an almost impossible number to estimate accurately. If a project employs 50 people, spending $2.5 million on salaries and another $22.5 million on supplies and material, how do you count the jobs created by the $22.5 million? All the estimates that talk about the high cost of jobs are treating those expenditures as producing no jobs. That is clearly absurd unless all the materials are imported.

[Raymond Little]

did you hear what you said?

The unions you mention represent truck drivers, steel workers, coal miners....You don't think these people have held shovels in their hands? Have YOU held a shovel?

Have no problem with the rank and file, not their fault they have been coerced into giving their dues to make a living. Stimlas money went to the THUGS at the top that drive Caddy's while the worker bees labor. Isn't it funny how the worker bees pensions are in the shitter while the THUGS pensions are fully funded?????? Very similar to the USSR isn't it BUZZ/DIDNOTFINISH.

SHOVEL READY REGARDS

By the thugs at the top, are you referring to the shareholders of the officers of the companies?
