My understanding from discussions with my congresswoman's aide, as well as what I've read in the press is that the funding is going to 'shovel ready' projects, which the aide said was defined as already designed and permitted, so I'm curious about how this varies from the CBO report.<BR/><BR/>Also, according to the congressional aide I spoke with, the funds are not earmarked, so it will be up to specific government agencies to allocate and spend the funds.<BR/><BR/>Since the bill has been based by both chambers now, and is expected to be signed in Denver on Monday, it seems like the best focus now is to see what specific projects are being looked at where you live, and work to make sure that the best projects are chosen and that they are done as effectively as possible.<BR/><BR/>A site that I've found very interesting for this is <A HREF="http://stimuluswatch.org" REL="nofollow">StimulusWatch.org</A>. They list the 18,750 projects proposed by the U.S. Mayor's conference, and provide places where people can express their opinions about the projects.<BR/><BR/>If we all get involved there and put pressure on local government agencies, perhaps we can at least see that the money will be spent as well as possible.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6398944192135372562.post-4495552975613629612009-02-12T16:28:00.000-06:002009-02-12T16:28:00.000-06:00Those three traitors should be drummed out of the ...Those three traitors should be drummed out of the GOP.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6398944192135372562.post-76640642764333035272009-02-11T11:28:00.000-06:002009-02-11T11:28:00.000-06:00Keep shouting!!!

That is what you expect a USA Senator to be doing PLAYING THE ASS, while your neighbor's life goes to rags.<BR/><BR/>While the USA as a mighty super successful power, goes the drain in your life time. That's your contribution..expecting a Senator to to be kicksin in Congress because someelse is amart enough to want to SAVE AMERICA.<BR/><BR/>I desrve a better country, I deserve a principle man like Senator Specter . MY country do not deserve to have you. <BR/><BR/>I prefer an illegal immigrant who wants a fair chance , to work to build this country he has heard so much of. <BR/><BR/>Long Live America , if we don't have you.

Specter is an embarrassment to the GOP. He sat on his thumbs while the Democrats filibustered GWB's judicial nominees but he won't repay the favor by standing with us for the good of the country.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6398944192135372562.post-20018576261599301662009-02-07T10:05:00.000-06:002009-02-07T10:05:00.000-06:00Excellent post!
