More Red States Embrace Obamacare, As Long As You Don’t Call It That

6. Reminds me of the law prohibiting signs announcing ARRA projects in Virginia

Finds were set aside in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 to purchase roadside signs announcing that the project you were driving by was funded by the ARRA. This was to serve like signs in the Depression letting people know that SOMETHING was being done and also to inject money into the sign making industry and all their suppliers. The Virginia legislature, Republican majority, specifically prohibited this part of the Act. This served to cloud exactly what was being done and to serve the "Where'd all the money go?" talking point.

We drove to a wedding in Ohio in 2010 and we passed several road projects that had such signs once we were in WV and Ohio.
