    Dave, fwiw, I’m currently working on two financings involving stimulus funds. It’s not the fault of the administration that these deals take time to get done and I’m certainly grateful that the funds are going through the bond markets.”

    Jessi;

    With all due respect, your statement shows exactly why President Obama is in trouble wrt the “stimulus”. The idea of the “stimulus” is to inject money into the economy quickly. Remember all the catch-words? “Shovel Ready” projects. I don’t think it plays too well on Main St. that the money is held up as bond deals are being formulated.

  2. jessi, I’m talking large scale multi billion dollar infrastructure projects like the WPA sponsored (in 1930 dollars).

    There are none of those. WTF is this government doing???

  3. Folks;

    Can I make a point of etiquette?

    Folks are certainly entitled to get together with whomover they wish for private get-togethers. However, I don’t think it is too friendly to talk about it on an OT. Gives the impression that the OT is not really an OT, but for insiders. Seems like we don’t get too many newcomers these days, and that might be one reason.

    WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH TEMPER TANTRUMS!!!!
