Justifying your tax dollars ...


Sign from the People's Republic of California. That's Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger standing in front of one of the signs.

They used to have signs up around some road projects, "Your tax dollars at work." And, after seeing one of those signs in my travels I always felt like I'd stepped in it. Or something.

Now, the bigger the snow job, the bigger the effort to BS the public. It's almost a requirement. This is from FrontPage Magazine:


An excerpt:

The Obama administration is so eager to make Americans believe its economic stimulus law is working, it is erecting signs proclaiming each new road repair or construction project is funded by the stimulus law. The Federal Highway Commission said in a sign-guidance statement: "President Obama made the commitment that all projects funded by the American Recovery and Investment Act (ARRA) will bear a recovery emblem to make it easier for Americans to see which projects are funded by the ARRA."
