It’s another video Wednesday. Governor Bobby Jindal delivers the Republican response to Obama’s speech last night, Fox News crunches the numbers behind the Spendulus job creation claims, Santelli tells it like it is and the NRCC produces a wrap up of the Spendulus debate.

How many jobs will Spendulus create?

Hundreds brave cold to say, “No Moore Pork!”

Kansas Meadowlark has two posts up today (here and here) that you’ll want to take a look at.

While I wasn’t able to be at the rally in Overland Park today, I was with you in spirit! Meadowlark has a photo journal up about the rally.

There’s also a great piece on KDOT’s new claim that 10,000 jobs will be created with our state’s share of “spendulus.” In short, many states are simply taking the average yearly wages of a construction worker and dividing it into the total amount of money they get, leaving virtually nothing to pay for construction materials and other costs.

I’d further point to today’s Capital-Journal article, where $2.5 million will be spent to buy new buses for Topeka transit.

That earmark for Topeka comes from $16 million set aside for urban transit, with $6.6 million going to Wichita, $2.8 million to Johnson County, $1.9 million for Wyandotte County and $1.9 million to Lawrence. A total of $14 million is going to rural transit projects, but those recipients haven’t been determined.

How new buses will create jobs is beyond me.
