"Shovel ready."

"U.S. Bridges, Roads Being Built by Chinese Firms."
Missed this back in September when it first ran.

Oh, the shovel is ready, all right. Just not the way we were expecting.

It's enough to make you weep. Only the mokes in DC and Calif. can blarp this kind of thing from their ass. Maybe we can start enlisting the Chinese in the Armed Forces too. Bet they work cheap.

Yep - a shovel upside the head is a real attention getter.............

The fact that government allowed these Chinese firms to repair bridges and infrastructure is of little consequence. It is a symptom, not the illness. The sellout of America is nearly complete.

Everywhere I look I see people waiting and preparing for the other shoe to drop. We should see real fractures in the social fabric by spring or summer. Then, the really hard times will come with hard fighting throughout CONUS. The time for dealing with all this treason and traitors will be nigh. I know the traitors in my area, do you?

I expect the other shoe to drop 'long about Summer 2013.

Anyone now seeking the office of President has a death-wish. They will preside over the dissolution of the U.S. economy.

RP --might-- pull a rabbit out of his hat... --might--... but don't bet real money on it.

Yes, Chinese bridges are shovel ready. As shovel ready as the shovels needed to bury the fatalities when defective welds give way.

We're missing the REAL point here...

The "status quo" would be for the Fed.gov to provide "matching funds" to CA, but to get the "match" they have to use a US firm and workers.

UNION workers.

CA examined their options and realized that it would cost them significantly less money - SIGNIFICANTLY LESS THAN **HALF PRICE** - to have the chinks do the job.

In other words, it would cost significantly more than DOUBLE THE COST to have a US firm do the job!

The reason is simple: The chinks don't have unions.

THEY are the ones to blame for this sickness.

I'm all for "buy American" and all the rest of the usual, related platitudes, but not at MORE THAN DOUBLE THE COST.
