Across the country, motorists are being greeted by signs advertising President Obama’s $787 billion stimulus bill, and Republicans aren’t happy about it.
The large green-and-white highway signs declare, “Project Funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.” Sen. Judd Gregg, R-N.H describes them as the “signs to nowhere” and tried in vain Wednesday to stop the advertising.
Democrats were nearly unanimous in voting to defeat an amendment by Greg that would have prohibited the use of stimulus funds for signs that advertise taxpayer spending on stimulus projects.
Signs to nowhere? Not really. At least they’re letting us know where our money’s going. It’s not like these signs say, “Hey, look! The recession’s over!” You know…what Obama’s been spending the last few days trying to get us to believe.
