I have to first of all give praise to whoever created your theme and second of all to you for writing what i can only describe as an fabulous article. I honestly believe there is a skill to writing articles that only very few posses and honestly you got it. The combining of demonstrative and upper-class content is by all odds super rare with the astronomic amount of blogs on the cyberspace.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359768134121369324.post-71970325085497609252009-11-20T18:01:32.929-05:002009-11-20T18:01:32.929-05:00The end result is that tax payers paid through the...The end result is that tax payers paid through the nose for something they should not have. I am confident that every administration pisses money away in bloated government contracts - it is not just a Democrat or Republican thing. What gets me is that this stimulus is being fed to the public as a jobs program, which it obviously is not considering how much we are spending for so few jobs (many of which, according to ABC and other sources do not even exist or in some cases simply pay raises being counted as jobs created/saved)The Patriothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15959310446519357593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359768134121369324.post-54650551908195822532009-11-20T12:00:02.590-05:002009-11-20T12:00:02.590-05:00Your math is not wrong.

A $1,4m contract is hardly worth noting when those jobs are of a technical nature. Unless, of course, you would be of the opinion that decommissioning an old nuclear reactor is something that should cost a lot less.<br /><br />We should be asking “are those expenses necessary?” and “should the government foot the bill for them?” These expenses seem like a drop in the bucket when compared against contracts awarded to BA during the last 2 previous administrations and contracts awarded to Blackwater during the last administration.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
