I find this a tad strange but the government is spending a portion of the stimulus money to track your trash!
That’s right. Government snooping on your trash apparently meets the definition of “economic stimulus” in 2010. Perhaps this is what Barack Obama meant when he talked about creating “green jobs”. Local governments are going to need a lot of “trash snoopers” to make certain that we are all recycling acceptably.
In fact, John McCain almost flipped his lid when he found out that Dayton, Ohio was given a half million dollars in “stimulus funds” to put RFID tracking chips in recycle bins. Not that McCain is a friend of liberty and freedom either. The truth is that the vast majority of the politicians in Washington D.C. have been helping to advance the “sustainable development” agenda in one way or another.
But can you imagine spending “economic stimulus” money to spy on the trash of the American people?
No wonder all of the “stimulus packages” didn’t do that much good for the economy. In fact, the amount of waste in the stimulus packages was absolutely mind blowing.
