Thus, the effect on unemployment is actually COUNTER-PRODUCTIVE. Long term... the stimulus is a short term program... as you know. And the actual manufacturing is a small part of the economic activity generated anytime there is a transaction. Commerce begets commerce. You are either too dumb to know that or too partisan to care.

There will be NO hiring for the installations. These are done as time is available by existing city/county employees. They're not going to hire new people to install these lights. It's labor stupid...whatever labor is involved, it is labor. it is labor to process orders, make the goods, ship, install, etc..etc...someone has to do it...frankly you have no clue as to whether this labor results in hiring, for you it's just another opportunity to complain. By the way, do you think the fed should screen projects and single out only the ones that produce labor AND result in hiring? Then you guys will intensify your bitching on the other end and say that the process is too bureaucratic and too slow, and not enough money has been spent... Why don't you quit bitching and try saying something productive for a change? Al
