Did you see one of the

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.
