Someone please tell me this is BS!

I just heard on the morning news that our neighboring State of Oregon (I live in Washington) was given a billion dollars of the stimulus money from the Feds.

Now keep in mind, this money is tax payer money (We do have to pay back the loan from China, you know) which we were told would create new jobs in America. It seems the state of Oregon is investing 75% of their billion bucks into hiring new permanent government employees!

Someone please tell me this is a hoax! lease:

Swelling the size of government with this stimulus money. These people are being told the jobs are permanent. Who will pay these employee when the stimulus runs dry?

Try more along the lines of $3.9 Billion.

And to answer, "Who will pay these employee when the stimulus runs dry?". Ummm, you and me and everyone else that has a job.

I could sure use some friggin stimulus!

Need to pay off some bills, buy some slicks and Mr. Busa has been asking for a Throttle Miester for nearly two years.....

Give it to me, I'll dam*ed sure stimulate the economy cause I'll buy some stuff

I don't know for sure, but I thogjt the stimulus money to the states had to be used for projects, not current operations or salaries. There was a big stink in STL over using stimulous money to keep the meto alive.

If the government really wanted to stimulate the economy, they would have allowed us to have a full pay check(tax free) for at least six months, that would have had more effect to stimulate the economy...instead of paying back all the campain contributors i.e. ACORN ect...
