Skinner, Smith and Smith (Sounds like a law firm or drug company)   

I will accept that the cost of this snow removal is incidental to the contract. That said, this "trickle down" concept that we can increase state employment directly and private employment indirectly by  spending on capital projects to avoid recession is clearly contributing to the  fiscal bind we are in now. That approach cannot be sustained. 

Federal money is not "free".  It comes from either more national debt or increased taxes disproportionately paid by those of us who can't afford a K Street lobbyist or clever tax accountants as can Donald Trump.  

 So which do you prefer,  "Meals on Wheels" or "Double Divergent Diamonds" to benefit the owners of the Tikahtnu Mall (who didn't pay a dime for this project)?    Remember our legislature attempted this spending approach to avoid the lower 48 recession a decade ago under Parnell.  Then oil prices collapsed and here we are today: "broke, busted, and disgusted"
