“Most of those jobs were just Obama makework projects anyway.”

Says who? If you believe that, you haven’t been reading about the condition of our aviation traffic system — deteriorating, dangerous and way behind other top tier countries.

This wasn’t about the merits of the FAA or the projects or budget priorities.

Doesn’t make much sense to stop work on half-completed projects; unless, of course they are “bridge to nowhere” boondoggles. This isn’t in that category.

so glad that the federal government is involved in EVERY aspect of our lives…we live and die now by what the idiots in DC do or don’t do…can’t wait until national health insurance…the democrats have taken all the credit for the past 80 years giving out treasury checks to all who asked…now it’s time to pay, and predictably, they’re blaming the republicans.

Good job Republications. Most of these jobs were just Obama “make work projects” anyway. No more freebys. Don’t spend what you don’t have. Keep it up! Cut more entitlement programs. Rah, Rah.

Good job Republicans. 4,000 real jobs, plus the construction workers and their families. Not to mention that these are high value infrastructure projects. Poof!
