You're showing more ignorance here. (You seem to ignore the fact that we're being taxed at the lowest rate since the 1950s - I'd hardly call that "soaking up all our resources")
But rather than go down THAT rat-hole, I'll ask a question of you. Here in New Hampshire, stimulus funds were used on an existing roadway project to connect the state's largest airport to the major highway going through our 3 largest cities. The funds allowed us to speed up the construction so that the new highway is opening TODAY (11/11/11) instead of 2 years from now. On top of that, finishing it sooner also made it come in under budget.
Now.. The construction workers who were hired to speed up the job. They were employed by the private construction companies who won the contracts from the state. Are THOSE employees your idea of 'public' employees?
