Did you see one of the
"shovel ready" projects Obama wants to fund is a Mob Museum in Nevada?

Cite, please? The Mayor of Las Vegas, Oscar Goodman, is *seeking*
Federal funding. No where will you find Obama stating he "wants" to fund
it.

I think we'll be seeing a lot of heavy and highway projects and other
federal construction that falls under the purview of Davis-Bacon and
prevailing wages.

The Big Dig - oh joy. 15 Billion for what was supposed to be a 3
Billion project. 12 years in the making when it was supposed to take
7. Union featherbedding rampant. Cement contractors cheating on the
concrete. Bad epoxy leading to the death of some poor schmuck who was
on her way to the airport. 1.6 Billion in legal expenses. The
tunnels leak at a gazillion gallons a day. Tripled tolls on the Mass
Pike.

Yep - let's go for broke.

Pun intended.
