One of Obama's bright light ideas is to provide Stimulus monies to the Union so they could hire Caulkers, people to go around and caulk windows etc:, that this would provide jobs. Maybe he does not realize that the average person goes to a building supply store buys a caulking gun, caulking and do their own caulking.  |

Maybe his thought is that it probably takes the average homeowner a day to caulk their entire house.
If the same job is Union though, that's 2 weeks of employment for at least 4 workers and a supervisor to get the windows done in the average-sized house. |

You're not even mentioning the extra work they get when they have to go back and fix the job because it wasn't done right in the first place. It can be just like the roads in your town.  |
Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

Exactly my point. Rt106 has been ripped up, paved, ripped up, paved (rinse and repeat) at least 5 times between Hope and East St, literally. They went though 3 engineers over something like a 4 year span.
Now they are repeating history underneath the RR bridge.
That's the problem with jobs that don't have performance-based raises. |

It was reported yesterday that if the spending continues Moody's
will drop the US Treasuries rating down from their current Triple A Rating within 3 years.
