Money in, Money out.

As you may know, the fed gave back the state about $5 billion in "stimulus" money. Most of it went as a carrot to start or expand social programs to push their social agenda.

Of the $5 billion only about $500 million actually went into projects that might stimulate the economy by creating shovel ready type jobs. Mostly all road and bridge type projects that we had to mortgage our future to get. Well guess what? While the state got $500 million up front "stimulus" money to create jobs in transportation infrastructure the fed is now cutting Tennessee's federal road funding by $190 million.

The deal is getting less and less sweet all the time. The next "deal" up is the Obama health care plan.
