Cargo Cult: "Stimulus" Projects Will Be Stamped With Official Logo

All must know of Dear Leader's munificence:

Put a stamp on it -- that’s what the White House says.

President Obama announced today that his administration will begin stamping an emblem on projects funded by the economic stimulus package so that people can easily recognize the effects of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.

All projects will be stamped with the ARRA logo (short for the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act) and lists the recovery.gov website on the emblem.

In remarks at the Department of Transportation this morning, Mr. Obama referenced the new emblems.

“We’re also making it easier for Americans to see what projects are being funded with their money as part of our recovery. So in the weeks to come, the signs denoting these projects are going to bear the new emblem of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act,” Obama said. “These emblems are symbols of our commitment to you, the American people -- a commitment to investing your tax dollars wisely, to put Americans to work doing the work that needs to be done. So when you see them on projects that your tax dollars made possible, let it be a reminder that our government -- your government -- is doing its part to put the economy back on the road of recovery.”

Thanks to G.

And Check This Out... Our nation's Department of Education, interested solely in educating our children, explains to us what the stimulus package is.

I repeat myself so often but I'm often forced to. So, here goes:

What if George W. Bush had done either of these things?

Thanks to Slublog again.
