>>Perhaps he should have allocated it ALL on a dam to fill the Grand Canyon?<<

Good idea. He allocated 4 bil to AZ (which is odd in an 800 billion dollar bill, we get 1/2 percent to 1.8% of the US population. Way to get your red-state retribution, O!). And only 1.3 billion were received, and only 6889 jobs 'created'. Extrapolate that and it cost only $200,000 per job 'created'. Nice. And I still don't know what it went for, maybe the Tucson ACORN office got a big slug. Or La Raza.......

In my zip there were NO contracts, only 30 grants totalling 4 million buckos. And I live in a middle-class (to working class) 'hood known affectionately as "Little Oaxaca". Nearly all of it went to schools (the vast majority to a single school), presumably to greenify their campus. Ho hum, it ain't the Grand Coulee Dam!
