I found this spreadsheet on the internet yesterday - a list of the stimulus proposals submitted by various agencies and governments in Michigan. Keep in mind these are just proposals. But it still boggles the mind!
Just one example: $18,000,000.00 to refurbish the Holland Civic Center. After years of studying, talking, voting, etc. there was a concensus that we, the taxpayers, were not willing to pony up money for this project. Meanwihle, Hope College took the initiative to build their own arena that is available for rent.
If we weren't willing to pay for this a few years ago, why on earth are we now being asked to pay for it without even the opportunity to vote on it?
And this is just one small example. These are projects that rightfully should be funded on a local level.

That's the thing about the modern left... they know better than you and they aren't afraid to tell you so.
