Our Stimulus Money At Work
Almost $6 million in federal stimulus funds was given to two firms run by Hillary Clinton's former presidential campaign strategist, The Hill newspaper reported Wednesday.
Mark Penn, who worked as Clinton's pollster during her 2008 presidential run, reportedly received $5.97 million from the $787 billion stimulus package so he could preserve three jobs at his public relations firm, Burson-Marsteller.
The firm has gained attention for securing a contract to work on a campaign advertising the nation's switch from analog to digital television. The Hill reported that $2.8 million of that contract was given to Penn's polling firm, Penn, Schoen & Berland Associates.
Three Jobs!!!! I wish I could find a job that paid up to 2 million. This is a shame. Will we ever stop wasting money in our Government??? I am tired of this good ol' boy/girl network we have in our Government both Federal and State.
