New Hampshire has used its $708 million in federal stimulus funding to create more than 2,000 jobs, pay for scores of road projects, upgrade health centers, fund research projects at universities and provide public schools with computers and supplies.
...Chris Clement, director of the state Office of Economic Stimulus, said New Hampshire used $146.5 million specifically to prevent state employee layoffs.
Called the "State Fiscal Stabilization Fund," this pool of stimulus money created or saved 1,264 jobs in education and 463 jobs in other state government agencies last year, he said.
...Mark Charbonneau, president of Continental Paving, said the funding helped him keep a full staff of 300 employees.
"If it wasn't for that we'd probably be down 70 to 80 people," said Charbonneau. "We feel it saved 75 jobs at our company last year."
To the Guinta-Ayotte-Bass crowd, it's job killing socialism! Or something.
On the other hand, to all mainstream economists, and the very few remaining reality-based conservatives, such as John McCain's former economic advisor, the stimulus worked.
