West Virginia should get a prize.

I looked up my city, what a waste of money.

Sonofabitch that is a lot of PORK....

Almost 1 Trillion in pork...wow....

I hope Obama craps cash.

At least there is still some common sense out there....

Of course CA has the most "projects"

Our state knows how to wast money better than yours neener neener neener...

California is (was) the 8th largest economy in the world...we deserve more money!

Just an FYI, these are "shovel ready projects" that were recommended to the President at the national Mayor's conference a little while ago. They are not set in stone.

From the website itself:

"Below are the "shovel-ready" projects the mayors of this state submitted in the 2008 U.S. Conference of Mayors report. You can click on a project to read (and add to) its description. You can also discuss the project and vote on whether you believe it is critical or not. For a more local view, you can drill down to projects in a particular city. Just choose a city from the following list."

California is a prime example of what Socialism does to an economy......unfortunately, the Queen of CA is driving the Socialism Express and the throttles are pegged.:firedevil

What, I dont ever see anything that says MADE IN CALIFORNIA.

My city isn't having any of it. You should have heard the Mayor rant about the current administration. She's very conservative and all about self-sustaining.

Easy, think Hewlett-Packard (HP), Apple, Cisco Systems, Oracle, Intel, AMD, Yahoo, Google, Ebay, PayPal, Bank of America (Italy), Levi Stauss & Co., GAP, Old Navy, etc.

Oh yeah, and some of the best wine in the world comes from Napa, CA.

Huh ?!?!?!?!
HP= Mexico
Intel=China and asia
Levi strauss=China, they just closed their last domestic plant last year somewhere near san francisco IIRC.

Apple, Cisco, Sun are still assembled here but with very few US made parts.

"Shovel ready" does that mean there's a plan in place to clean up all the bullsh*t involved?

Shovel ready is they plan on digging a deeper and deeper hole instead of following the old 'when you find yourself getting deeper and deeper in a hole the first thing you do is STOP digging.'

Did you ever wonder how the federal government got the speed limit reduced and set nationwide to 55 ? You may not be old enough to remember 73/74. It was fairly simple, they threatened to with hold federal tax money from the states, that quickly brought them into line, except North Dakota if I remember right, ND said 'NO' and kept more than a few of their road at whatever speed they wanted and they had a few with NO speed limits on them and they did not get any money either. It will be the same here, states power is being diluted and transferred to DC just by control of the federal purse strings.

well then perhaps we should declare Indiana it's own country and mark up our price on corn.
