    There is a small, old bridge in Tuscumbia, MO to receive the first of the stimulus money to rebuild.

    $8 million dollars employs 12 guys. Yes, steel and other raw materials will also be purchased, with is stimulating, but this is exactly the kind of bullshit that we can all expect.

    Again, $8 million dollars employs 12 guys to build a bridge out in the middle of nowhere. My viewpoint is, that the State needs to pay for this, NOT ME!

    • That state doesn't have any money. And those 12 men may now have a paycheck to buy their families dinner.waterhouse
    • I am happy for the 12, but this is outrageous. Imagine how that $8m could be used otherwise.

    • I hear you, put personally I'd rather a better bridge here than warfare overseas.waterhouse
    • "steel and other raw materials will also be purchased"... that's more than just 12 guys.IRNlun6
    • States need to keep their houses in order. The fed needs to stay out. I have no interest in helping MO.
