Do the morons at the CRC understand the meaning of the phrase "Shovel Ready?"

.
The massive porkulus that our resident Cowardman, Brian Baird, voted for without reading (Because it had a few crumbs in it that he wanted... so he didn't care about any of the other details) is a huge pot of money,

Earlier, some of the more delusional morons supporting the criminal waste of money known as the I-5 Bridge replacement/loot rail project were upset that Obama didn't just whip out the government checkbook and write one for the whole thing. As Tim "The Liar" Leavitt put it:
“It’s frustrating to me that our Congress passed a $700 billion bailout for the financial sector and they couldn’t throw in a measly $3 billion for this immense federal asset for the West Coast,” said Tim Leavitt, a Vancouver councilman who will represent C-Tran on the 10-member sponsors council. “Please give us some money. Why do we have to beat each other up locally?”
Even as an early backer of fringe left whacko, Anti-American racist bigot Obama, The Liar hasn't had a lot of success in getting his best bud to write the checks.

Well, let's take a quick look at the criteria for this kind of check, shall we?

First of all, the project needED to be "shovel ready."

That is, ALL of the support work and permitting needs to be accomplished.

Secondly, ALL of Obama's "friends" need to have been taken care of first. That means we get what, if anything, will be left over.

Thirdly, the CRC and it's supporters have proven themselves delusional on so many levels... not the least of which is the massive public opposition to all of this nonsense.

Think the fed is going to fork over a $150 million for a project that isn't CLOSE to "shovel ready" (Though it is manure ready) and that is universally despised by the locals?

Don't hold your collective breath.
