I've just returned from a vacation out west, which among other places, took me to Wyoming where I saw the majestic Grand Tetons and spent time at Yellowstone. While we were driving through the parks, we kept hitting construction on the roads, in some cases major portions of the national park highways were closed, requiring significant detours. I kept wondering why the heck there were all these road closures and construction during the height of the tourist season. Sure enough, I passed a sign boasting "your tax dollars at work" -- encouraging me to visit Recovery.org. As if there weren't already enough reasons for me to oppose the Obama stimulus package.
