Although the following examples will be labeled by conservatives as a series of rapes further perpetrated upon the corpse of Ronald Reagan the American Taxpayer, Premier Obama’s dastardly gang of tree-hugging Trotskyites have taken to highlighting the results of their tiny stimulus bill — most likely in an effort to show Sean Hannity he knows nothing about Keynesian economics (or properly resembling a human being).

From a White House press release:

• … Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood visited Seattle to showcase Sound Transit’s University Link project, which received $44 million thanks to the Recovery Act. The University Link expansion line is Sound Transit’s first major project to be designed and built in an environmentally friendly way.

• … Deputy Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Ron Sims awarded a $1.3 million grant to retrofit carports at three community facilities with solar panels and capacity.   These carports will be able to generate power for the attached facilities, conserving electricity and thus saving money for Las Vegas’ taxpayers.

• … noting the large amounts of energy used by hospitals, Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki announced that his department is targeting nearly one-quarter of its $1.4 billion in funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to investments in clean energy generation and energy conservation.

• … HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan attended a groundbreaking of a public housing development project in Minneapolis that is using $3.6 million in Public Housing Capital Funds, provided through the Recovery Act, to renovate four high-rise developments with 539 public housing units.

These tangible benefits — job creation, improving public transportation and public housing, and reducing the enormous energy consumption of Las Vegas and veterans — will no doubt be undermined by a short-sighted opposition with no appreciation of delayed gratification.

As these and other projects come online, the full weight of the stimulus bill will truly come to bear — meaning we’ll probably need another one (Hey, FDR did it!) because Warren Buffet thinks the first one didn’t get the economy, uh, fully aroused: “Our first stimulus bill… was sort of like taking half a tablet of Viagra and having also a bunch of candy mixed in…” [CBS News] Ewwww!
