Stimulus Tracker, I am so skeptical

Okay Ladies and Germs,

With actual unemployment figures in the 20% range. (I don't care what the media is reporting on new claims.)

I went to this site:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/33498869/ns/us_news-the_stimulus_tracker/#/all/all/tx/48297/

My county is Live Oak in Texas. (JUST CLICK YOUR STATE & COUNTRY)

UP pops a list of awarded ***contracts*** monies from the stimulus package.

Live Oak supposedly put 328 people to work using stimulus monies.



Browse contracts4 projects found

Project description County State Contractor Industry Value Job impact
Corridor Improvements Live Oak County TX - Construction and Supplies $37,500,000

225 (PEEPS GIVEN JOBS)

STATE LET CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS LIVE OAK CO GR BS SURF STRS. Live Oak County TX Ballenger Construction Company Construction and Supplies $17,155,044

103 (PEEPS GIVEN JOBS)

JOE FULTON INTERNATIONAL TRADE CORRIDOR PHASE II. Live Oak County TX - Construction and Supplies 0.0 (no monies awarded yet) 0 (no PEEPS job creation)

Window Replacement and Plumbing Upgrades Live Oak County TX Dykema Architects Construction and Supplies 0.0 (no monies awarded yet) 0 (no PEEPS job creation)

SO NOW, I have to drive around my county to see if folks (construction workers are actually repairing or building roads.) Last time I read an article on the Trans Corridor connecting Mexico to US to Canada; it was cancelled.

Instead of telling the workers to STIMULAZZ; I will tell them to COVER UR AZZ due to plumbers crack.

LOL,

If I can find them........................

Veteran's Day Poem

This Veteran's Day is meet with mixed emotions. My thoughts:

Celebrate with those whom you can. Remember those who have fallen. Embrace those you love. Give thanks to all veterans (civilians, family members of those who support their mission); because without them -- you would not be communicating here; right now.

You May Not Know

The sound of the ramp hitting ground

Vibrations of boots plunking sound

You are here to liberate

Just leaving family, last week-late

You May Not Know

The sound of a heart in its chest

Pushing blood at its best

Saluting a woodened box draped in shroud

That could be you- silently thinking; not said--aloud

You May Not Know

Why? A day of mourning

I am so weary of war. I ache for my fallen brothers and sisters in arms.

I just don't understand why our leaders feel the need to grow their coiffers off the blood of those who serve their country.

I really am saddened by the events at Fort Hood and shore up my raw heart, mind and, soul for the next time. I truly believe there will be more violence.

Another story I am conflicted about is the DC sniper's execution today. I just don't understand the violence. Have I felt violent enough to physically harm another. YES

Have I acted on it? NO

DO I BELIEVE multiple killings commited by a person should get them the death penalty? Undecided.............

DO I believe in duty, honor, integrity, service, tradition, excellence with every fiber of my being.

STANDS AT ATTENTION,

SNAPS SALUTE,

SILENCE FOR THE FALLEN...........................

During Ft Hood's Final Roll Call
