In this the age of free money, a town in south Alabama has come up with a brilliant idea: Ask for $375 million dollars. And asking for all of the proposed money to go to 'green' improvement projects. This falls right in line with President-elect Barak Obama's plans for a stimulus package. Edwardsville is lauded as an example. Every city in the US should be trying this hard to invest in renewable resources and provide jobs in these troubled financial times. The entire request is a mere .045% of the $775 billion that is planned for the next two years. So, here's to you Edwardsville, AL. Good luck!

Ha, nice. They are a bit ahead of the curve. Dividing the roughly 800 billion surplus among roughly 300 million Americans leaves every American with approximately $2,700. In a town of almost 200 people, that comes to just $520,000. They've jumped that by 750%.
Now other small towns will be scrambling to claim money before it gets doled out.
Whee! Bread and Circuses!
