[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 485201, member: 2189"] Seems President Obama is not the only one in Washington working on those frequent flyer miles. [URL="http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2009-02-19-fundraising_N.htm"][COLOR=red]http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2009-02-19-fundraising_N.htm[/COLOR][/URL] I wonder if PT Barnum had democrat and republican voters in mind when he uttered that most famous saying, "There's a sucker born every day!" As to Mableton Wyoming, population 700, why would a $30mil rec center be such an important need to such a small population base. I guess you could argue this one time construction project would create jobs but then consider this. Take the $30mil and divide it up between the 700 residents and that's $42k plus each. Now imagine that $42k each paying down debt for the residents of Mableton and then this frees up discretionary income to spent out in the local economy. If given the choice, I wonder what the residents would choose? Long term, I'd contend this a better stimulus than a $30 mil one time construction project of a rec center but then I know I'm just not thinking right. To quote from one of my favorite movies: "Luke, ya just have to git ya mind right!" :happy-very: Between Bush and Obama, why is it that I feel like I'd being told to move the dirt out and move the dirt back in to Boss Cain's ditch? :wink2: [/QUOTE]
