The stimulus at work

[kaperoni]

Some have said that the stimulus hasn't saved any jobs, but here is a case where at least one job was saved. Oregon State University Athletic Director Bob DeCarolis was considering firing their basketball coach, Craig Robinson, after an 8-11 start (2-5 in the Pac 10 conference). When word of this reached Washington , Undersecretary of Education Martha Kanter was dispatched to Corvallis with $17 million in stimulus money for the university. Craig Robinson's job is safe for this year. For those of you unfamiliar with Coach Robinson, he just so happens to be Michelle Obama's brother. Just a coincidence I'm sure!

Man, these people make me sick! Time to get them out of there!

$17 million for one job huh? sounds about right given govt efficiency & a benchmark for the mess they'll make of healthcare.

I have a question of the chicken-or-the-egg variety. In light of govt's gross ineptitude and corruption so pervasive they don't even try to hide it any more, just HOW have we managed to get and maintain such an amazing, awe-inspiring military???? Is it b/c of the govt or in spite of it, or is there a different question?
