Do republicans think this small Pennsylvania-based family-owned company is being hurt by the stimulus,?

It is amazing so many negative minded people live in this country that they can see bad in good news. I guess Rush and his ideas are really starting to take hold.

"work begins today in Montgomery County, Maryland, where a work crew is starting on a project to resurface Maryland State Highway 650 -- a very busy road that has not been fully repaired in 17 years.""

Note: Maryland is a Democrat state and it took 17 years for a road to get repaired.

I'm an Independent but open and listen to both sides, this type of spending is not what they are against, the constitution calls for the federal government to maintain postal roads, remember the founders lived for 180 years trying to perfect the constitution, living under a social government,they studied 5000 years worth of governments and why they did not work and came up with a republic that gives the rights to the people not government (many forget this) they limited the federal government to certain things they were able to do, then the rest of our rights were to fall into the peoples hands then the states, both Democrat and republicans have put there hands in the peoples business directed States on what they have to do to get certain things done from the federal government, they again are not to do this directly takes your rights away, One way to look at it they say the trickle down affect does not work, then why are they hiring a business and giving them the money to do it?

WOW...........that is what is called a "Shovel Ready Job".

It will take 60 employees off of unemployment or make it that 60 do not have to be. That is just a fine start.

Do you realize in this 'Stimulus Pkg." that there is more money to people that got him elected than there is in infrastructure jobs? Our Governor says we aren't going to get near enough to do the infrastructure needed because it is going to social programs that after this money is gone the State will not be able to continue them.

Is that F&F Paving in Tobyhanna, Why hasn't the State of Maryland

done this theirselves.

Because the city of Baltimore is in that State and the innercity

welfare must be 10 billion

You see how desparate CNN is to prop up Obama? Sickening. How about some investigative journalism on the corruption and pork? Never question the messiah.

I'm sure they're happy.. and good for them. Now, excuse me while I go back to thinking about the 95% of the pork package that has nothing to do with creating jobs.

Maybe, and maybe not, once all of the taxes and other policies Obama wants are enacted.

But that's not really the question. I'm wondering what the impact on ALL businesses will be.

CNN's selective reporting, and the Pavlovian response of Obama supporters, don't really add up to much in the way of useful information.

Which means the family-owned company cannot do work for private citizens which drives up the cost of asphalt work for private citizens.

You cannot have it both ways.

It is not the function of the government to "make-work" for businesses, thank you very much.

I think Pennsylvania is responsible for paving their own roads...not me. I pay to pave to roads here in Nebraska that I use.

Tell me, when that road is paved in 3 years time...what is the next project that is going to employ these people? Furthermore, how is it going to be paid for? These are not sustainable jobs and these jobs do not grow our GDP as a nation...that is not stimulus.

I'm looking at the MACRO economics of this country, not the MICRO economics of Pennsylvania.
