Obama Money Out On The Trails
Some of the the stimulus money that Obama printed or borrowed has apparently made its way to Tahoe NF. I spotted this sign as Angelo and I were heading up past Merril Valley on Monday:
Since Monday wasn't a holiday, I slowed down to avoid running into any hard working American union members. But son of a gun, there was actually no need to come off the gas as I couldn't find a single soul actually working (or even not working), nor could I find any evidence of work having been performed. Just the sign. Doesn't this make you feel a whole lot better about the economy?
I imagine they employed 4 guys just to put the sign up: 1 guy to dig the post holes, 1 guy to install the posts, 1 guy to carry and hold the sign, while the last guy bolted it to the post. Gotta love union rules...

The sign WAS the work, eh!
That's funny! I have one vendor where there is a checkbox that asks you to check it off if you are using ARRA (stimulus) funds! I wondered if it was some kind of different money.

Aw crap, what if installing a gate is the project they are doing out there?ATV'er wrote:I feel better knowing Obama is helping our trails...
If he has his way next week there will be a nice gate across the trail head.
That's probably right! We should start a season-long contest to see who can find the most signs out in the forests. The winner gets one of these nifty stickers for their quad:hemingray wrote:Afterthought - all the fed agencies probably got a sh*tload of those things. "Alright, boys, go put some of those signs up and get them out of the warehouse!"

Re: Obama Money Out On The Trails
I recieved an email from representative Darrel Issa today and they are asking evryone send in pictures of these signs and where they are located seems the cost about $10,000 each so GG you probably have it right
if you see more send them to Stimulussigns@mail.house.gov =D>I imagine they employed 4 guys just to put the sign up: 1 guy to dig the post holes, 1 guy to install the posts, 1 guy to carry and hold the sign, while the last guy bolted it to the post. Gotta love union rules

Re: Obama Money Out On The Trails
That's good info, I think I'll send mine in. Darrel Issa is a bulldog. Now that the Republicans will be in the majority in January, they get to have as many hearings as they like on whatever they like. My congressman McClintock is gunning for the forest service, so this could get interesting in a hurry.auendave wrote:I recieved an email from representative Darrel Issa today and they are asking evryone send in pictures of these signs and where they are located seems the cost about $10,000 each so GG you probably have it right
