just in in-tray I was talking to someone this morning who claims that if you add up all of the infrastructure projects "on deck" in all 50 US states, the total is a mere $60 billion. With the Obama stimulus plan, each and every one of them will be funded. But from what I understand, there are not enough contractors, asphault, etc. to fill all the orders if everyone starts building them in the next 12 months. That might mean that there is a bidding war for the labor and supplies needed to fufill the orders. Inflation anyone? A right-wing guy in Virginia who was very much against Obama runs an asphault paving company. All he can say at the moment is "I love Obama, I love Obama, I love Obama." He is licking his chops as the new orders he foresees coming in later in 2009.....
