Watch for a road sign near you!
The Senate voted 52 to 45 (some Democrats voted against these shenanigans also) to spend millions and millions of dollars to place road signs advertising the successes (?) of the stimulus spending along the nation's highways. "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?" queried Senator Barbara Boxer (D-Ca), who then accused the Republicans of just voting against the bill because they are spoil-sports.
But Senator Judd Gregg (R-NH) objected, "We do enough self-congratulating around here. They shouldn't make the taxpayers pay for it."
