I agree, tho, that it was mainly created by the Bush Admin, and it was Bush who removed most of the constraints & regs put in by Democrats, which ended up w/W's CEO cronies awarding themselves giant bonuses made up of taxpayer dollars. <br /><br />It's my understanding that BHO's admin has tightened that up again.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3921098406878065065.post-72431309793769081062009-08-31T12:50:08.225-04:002009-08-31T12:50:08.225-04:00Hey Anonymous, I don't know what they are talk...Hey Anonymous, I don't know what they are talking about, I can think of four ARRA projects going on around my house.

I am not speaking about a regular old package. In my experience it is twice as expensive. Letters are way more than twice as expensive.
