Seriously Merc? IIRC more than half are from R's.

Yeh, like thats gonna happen in 30 days. It'll be more like a year before any real change is noticed aside from the seasonal stuff.

What happened to all the talk about "shovel ready projects" Obama preached to us about? Contracts should already have been awarded and we should be hearing about them.

Good grief. I have seen several governors on TV talk about projects that have started or were getting ready to start, and people being able to keep government jobs who otherwise would have had to be fired. Give it a rest Merc. Even Sonny Perdue has been on TV talking about it. The money is slowly getting out there. It will not happen overnight. The bill just passed less than a month ago.
