Green Infrastructure

In perusing our scandelously awful local paper, we learn how tin cup urbanism will come to Austin in President Elect Obama's trillion dollar pork program:

It asks for $1.5 million to create 15 jobs to replace light bulbs with more efficient ones across the city.

Let me get this straight: We're going to spend $1.5 million to hire 15 people to CHANGE LIGHTBULBS!!!

$1.5 million/15 = $100,000 per person hired.  Apparently, Austin's Wizards of Smart think this is a good use of taxpayer money.  I've heard of paying people to dig holes and fill them, but this is just silly.

Mugatu Indeed.
