Gee, chip, I just visited my grandchildren in the Carson City, Nevada and there I saw nothing but Butts and Elbows! There is a section of freeway between Reno and CC that they have been working on for nearly 10 years and they have been slowing down the snails! So, now, as Beck predicted, they have hastily opened the freeway and at the intersections they have erected little Choo Choo and silver mining ore cars and tracks, expensive stuff normally reserved for more prosperous times. My guess would be at a cost of a hundred thousand per intersection not to mention the many large Steel silouettes of deer adorning the mountainsides! Yes, The Obama stimulous shor Beck warned of had been going full throttle for the last few months!

Ahhhh, Nevada, the state that gave us Harry Reid, the consumate, career lying politician!, The pomegranate farmer who steals NV and the USA blind while defying his Mormon doctrine! Nevada is still a "mob state" - dig deep enough and you will find it You know Reid has always been responsible for funneling federal monies to Nevada for his pet projects.

By the way, in driving that newly, I might add, hastily opened 25 mile section of freeway one cannot help but notice the very poor quality, but then, Graft was invented, or at least perfected in Nevada!

Washington Post reporters Jerry Markon and Alice Crites deserve kudos for turning the spotlight on the Obama administration’s use of taxpayer funds to curry voter favor in the critical battleground state of Ohio. Markon and Crites cite a laundry list of largess that has poured into the state in recent years:

[T]he state’s portion of the $2.3 billion in clean-energy manufacturing tax credits was tens of millions of dollars more than the slices that went to other swing states…

In high-speed rail, another administration priority, Ohio also fared well. The White House in 2010 awarded the state $400 million...
