This was taken from Sean Hannity, and yes, he obviously is a conservative card carrying GOP member...but that's beyond the fact.
$100,000 for doorbells to be installed in buildings (Laurel, MS) -- creates 2 jobs
$6,000,000 to convert hybrid cars to electric plug in cars (Boulder, CO) -- creates 0 jobs
$500,000 for dog park construction (Chula Vista, CA) -- creates 0 jobs
$600,000,000 to create the Heritage Trail (Natchez, MS) -- creates 65 jobs
$1,500,000 for a prostitue shelter (Dayton, OH) -- creates 0 jobs
$500,000,000 to install solar water heaters (Cidra, Puerto Rico) -- creates 14 jobs
Total = Over $1 billion and 81 jobs
Yes, I realize this is a small portion of the money, but these odds and ends crap are burried all over this 600+ page bill, and its ridiculous to think that all this money is going to be wasted when it could be helping the middle-class citizen! And when did hybrid cars become a bad thing that we need to convert them to electric plug in?! I thought hybrid cars were supposed to be so good?!
For President Obama to claim that he didn't think Speaker of the House Nacny Pelosi would allow all this pork in the bill is unacceptable.
However, to President Obama's defense, his caps on wages for businesses/banks getting government money is great! That money should have countless strings tied around it, and it appears it does, as numerous banks have turned down the money.
