Signs of the Times

The Porkulus Bill, appearing at a roadside near you (from Special Report):

The Senate has voted to keep spending millions of your tax dollars on road signs, telling motorists where billions in stimulus money is being spent.

New Hampshire Republican Senator Judd Gregg says quote: "They're so that lawmakers can pat themselves on the back. But these signs cost... a lot of money." Gregg tells The Washington Times, the signs cost up to $3,000 a piece. Officials in some states say they would rather spend that money on more projects.

But California Democratic Senator Barbara Boxer says: "Why on earth would you want to hide from the American people the fact that the recovery package we passed is putting people to work?"

Yeah, think of all the sign painters and sign installers we're paying.
