Democrats Reject GOP on Stimulus advertising

September 22, 2009

“I just find it absurd that we’re putting up all these signs all over the country with taxpayer money telling taxpayers we’re spending their money,” he told FOX News. “Most taxpayers can figure that out. We don’t have to put up a sign and tell them we’re spending their money. — The cost of the signs vary from state to state. For example, a “Good Morning America” report calculated the cost at $500 in Maryland and New Hampshire to $3,000 in New Jersey. Gregg estimated the total cost at anywhere from $6 million to $20 million.

$6 million to $20 million, out of a nearly $800 billion dollar program, which works out to be 0.0000075% of the complete budget for the program.

The Republicans primary focus on this is not to see people working under a Stimulus sign saying “these people are working because of the democrat led spending bill”

It’s bad politics, and it’s wrong..
