Obama signs stimulus bill; CA in trouble

It's official - $787 billion is headed into projects/states.

President Barack Obama signed the bill about 40 minutes ago.

The money, earmarked for a LOT of projects, so I guess we'll see how it works. It's not expected to show that "immediate" affect, but lets hope it doesn't take TOO long.

Until then, I'm gonna be nicer (at work, that is) and a harder worker. Need to make sure I keep that sweet job.

Meanwhile...

Big problems in California. The Governator and crew is facing a 20,000 job layoff. The state is expecting to start the massive layoffs of government workers soon and halt all public works projects.

Ouch.

So because lawmakers want to bitch and moan about the state budget, thousands are going to lose jobs, in addition to all the construction jobs that will be lost as well.

Might be better for everyone in the state if that big earthquake would just make it an island already.
