Letter to the editor

From Sunday's Boston Globe;

ANOTHER DAY passes, and another revelation of stimulus graft emerges. Coming on the heels of the discovery that the Senate protected AIG bonuses before feigning outrage that the bonuses were protected is the news that most public works projects that would create long-term stimulus are exempt from the stimulus plan ("Stimulus rules may stymie transportation projects," March 26, Page B7). Is this the bailout plan, or the bait-and-switch plan?

It is becoming increasingly evident that the "shovel-ready" projects Democrats used to sell this plan to the American people can be found in piles, wherever manure is sold.
