well that should put some electricians and carpenters to work..

Our govt is wrong. Just keep printing paper money and us serfs will continue to pay the hidden inflation tax, meanwhile, they are doing us a favor by stimulating the economy.

Think about it...
This is Federal money being returned to our local area. Put your hand out and accept the money. If you don't somebody else will take it. Any money coming into the County from outside is good money.

J.P.- you have little understanding as to where "federal" money comes from- US! (It is not from the "outside" as the govt would love for you to believe). You need to delve into where the bucks come from, where they begin, where they go, and where they end. The problem is you pay a hidden inflation tax every time you buy groceries or purchase anything for that matter. Pretty soon you'll be wondering why your favorite loaf of bread costs 6 dollars. It's because you are footing the bill of govt BORROWED money from the federal reserve. I know you have to know the country is trillions of dollars in debt. So where do you think the $ is coming from? The answer is that the federal reserve prints more $ on the backs of the American tax payer. The govt owes interest to the federal reserve on EVERY buck they print. Money does not come from nowhere and there is a consequence for creating more debt to "stimulate" the economy. If you are interested in learning more read "What Happened to Penny Candy?" By the way, this is one of the primary reasons people left Europe to seek freedom from nationalized banks and the founding fathers vehemently fought against this kind of tyrrany.

well that sux

I know a lot of out of work carpenters that are not exactly worried about the politics or economics of where this money comes from. They just need work. There is no work out there except for stimulus money being sent for projects. Should you tell them not to take the jobs and hold tight?

Where can I apply for a job?
