You mean the ones that never existed in the first place? There never were any jobs just sitting around waiting for money. I thought we already rectified that issue. The only thing that is shovel ready is the bullshit of "shovel ready"

In most cases that has been only temporary! As those funds are exhausted the
states budgetary concerns become even worse. They cannot keep up with what they had before and these expenditures have exacerbated the situation. Many of the jobs "saved" will be eliminated, just like the police situation we discussed in another thread.
