The logic as I see it - if we have enough slurry projects, tax other productive people 100% to pay for them, (or just have the FED print the $$) then we should be prosperous beyond our wildest dreams? The solution is now obvious, we don't have nearly enough government funded slurry projects lined up.

I see a lot of comments that complain about how fixing a road does not stimulate our economy. While I agree that road repair is hardly an innovative way to turn the economy around, I would disagree about it not having a long term positive impact. I'm sure the people in several counties in the mid-west that recently had to revert to gravel for lack of funds would be happy to be slurry sealed. The long term jobs are transportation, not digging.

Will not create new long term jobs nor do anything to stimulate the growth/return of our economy.

Reply to Doug Slay : Doesn't it put people to work and inject money into the local economy? It's better to have people being productive than drawing unemployment and drinking beer at home.
