Re: If the rest of the stimulus money used so far

said by R4M0N:

If the rest of the stimulus money used so far is any indication, some of that money will help fund research on how grandparents influence the adoption of internet connections or something just as stupid.

Millions of dollars have been used to make signs that say "This project is being paid by stimulus money", other billions have been put on such gems as "tunnel for turtles", "skylights for liquor warehouse" and "airport that gets 20 passengers/day".

So forgive me if I'm not rejoicing about the spending on Broadband.
100 years ago someone said that about providing your great grandparents access to electricity. How'd that work out?

Um,

So you really NEED to study the obvious, ay? I mean are we that brain dead as a society that we can't realize that CERTAIN facets of our lives are better without PISSING away millions to find out about it?

P.S. You have the tax Payers to thank for your electricity via the Tennessee Valley Authority.... I guarantee you when they went to do that in the 30s and 40s, they didn't spend years questioning if people WANTED and NEEDED electricity =).
