Wow (Construction needs a Bailout)

[Yard Bird]

I know times are tough out there, low hours, layoffs and bills needing payed. I feel for everyone thats feeling the pinch, few are not but most are. Now I try not to get into politics to much as everyone has their own views but times are tough and lean these days. We have closed 3 plants and 60 drivers are layed off right now, we just got the news that our state is getting 400 million for new projects, well in the grand scheme of things that is nothing to really write home about when you consider that will build 800 homes at 500K or about 5 bridges to replace that are falling apart. To everyone that's still hanging in there (I say), I hope things get better for all of us and soon or else everyone but a few are in deep trouble. Check out this cute little number on u-tube

Only tax cuts and higher consumer confidence will get us out of this almost depression. The bailouts are only meant to bring industry further under the control of government.

Amen. A little common sense in government, instead of politicians trying to get re-elected and keep their cushy jobs, would be nice too.
