re: #407 drcordell

So that $1 million dollars wasn’t injected into the economy? Companies that make signs and the employees they pay don’t really count? I’m not trying to be a smart-aleck here, I’m simply pointing out that even “stupid” projects keep people employed. $1 million dollars of funding to mop the capitol floor may sound stupid, unless you’re the janitor whose salary it pays.

Why do we need to give tax money out to pay for temporary jobs? How is that helping the economy? Cutting taxes so businesses can hire permanent employees & tax payers have more money to spend is the answer.
