And speaking of work avoidance...


Welcome to Recovery.gov

[From Recovery.gov]

This is the web site that's supposed to assure "transparency" (sorry) in the stimulus (sorry again) program, but as far as I can see it's just a collection of press releases and a few obscure charts. And now that you mention charts (or I do), what do they mean when they say "Jobs created/saved in the next 2 years"? Oh wait, they explain it here. It's a SWAG (Swinging Wild-Assed Guess).


What I want to know is, instead of pumping out press releases why don't they just give GM a, say $20 billion order for railroad and subway cars, city busses, and emergency vehicles and get to work? Would that be stimulating, ya think?
