COUNTERING the lies and deception of the gop and tea-baggers, many of whom have tried to take credit for stimulus projects while condemning stimulus funding, this is from Transportation Sec Ray LaHood, a Republican member of the Obama administration.

Cross posted from the Department of Transportation's blog.I'm really pleased today to present a web experience honoring the men and women who are doing the heavy lifting to renew America's transportation infrastructure. With our interactive map, viewers can see all of the "Voices of the Recovery Act" videos from our YouTube channel on a single screen.
Each of these videos features a worker whose job was saved or created by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. In their own words, they talk about their Recovery Act projects and how they've built or repaired infrastructure, and how their projects jump-started economic activity in their communities.
On our new web app, each orange cone represents a video by an American worker.Thanks to the Recovery Act, these good people, who would have been unemployed otherwise, are at work today on more than 13,900 needed projects currently underway. And in our video series you can hear them share what that has meant to them in tough economic times for the construction industry.
As Vice President Joe Biden said, "'Voices of the Recovery Act' is one more way in which the American people will be able to see their tax dollars at work helping to turn the economy around and put the country back to work.”
I encourage you to visit our online map, and listen as these workers tell their stories.
And, if you have a story to tell about how a Recovery Act transportation project has helped you find or keep a job, upload your video to YouTube and email us a link at recoveryvids@dot.gov.
Ray LaHood is the Secretary of Transportation
