Heh - my good buddy who I've talked about before (he owns a high tech
machine shop - wire forming and machining exotic metals and the like)
received $110,000 in "stimulus" funds - theoretically that is. He
actually got $50K, but for some reason it was listed at $110K. Took
him three weeks to straighten that out.

Then he had to account for the "jobs saved or created" which was a bit
of a problem because he had to lay off one machinist even with the
stimulus funds. Then, as fate would have it, he got another contract
outside the stimulus funds he recieved so he had to hire two more
machinists and rehire the laid off machinist (who was out two weeks).

So far, he's had his secretary spend 21 hours working with the report
he's supposed to file including working with our brilliant Senator
Dodd's office and his Congresscritter who "suggested" a total of five
jobs "saved or created" when even they couldn't figure out what he
should report.

It's a freakin' nightmare.

How about if he paid the money back? Would that work?
