Picks, wheelbarrows, and shovels create lots more jobs than a dozer and grader.

There ya go. Excellent program. Very wisely spent tax money. Instead of putting those men on handouts, they put them to work.

It is amazing how times have changed. Now we just give money. And if folks don't get money they raise Cain. I guess folks just haven't gotten hungry enough.
