Manhattan Project cost nearly US$2 billion ($22 billion in present day value).(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manhattan_Project http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manhattan_Project) It employed more than 130,000 people. Many labs and plants built in 1940s for the project are still in use today.
We have just spend $760 billion on so-called stimulus. The money is gone, and nothing to show for it.
That's how bloated gov't works nowadays, in CA, federal, and all other states. And the letter is calling for more of this!

- leot 16y agoThe reasoning seems to go: 1) The stimulus was supposed to mitigate the effects of the recession, and 2) The recession was still very bad, therefore ======================= 3) The stimulus had no positive effect/was not worth the cost. Now, who wants to play the game "find the fallacy"?
