i wonder how old the vehicles they replaced were, and i wonder how many miles they have to drive before they 'save' the first penny? after all, if you spend 30k or more per vehicle, to replace vehicles that didn't need replacing, how efficient is that really?
There are some good things funded too but that isnt the point. The point is that the vast majority of the spending is not real economic stimulus though it was sold and continues to be sold as such. People like Riot either dont know the difference, have never bothered to actually see what has been put in there or both.
