President Obama’s great Stimulus giveaway not only was given to insolvent companies like Solyndra; billions of dollars went to Chinese companies importing Chinese workers to work on US State funded projects like bridges and roadways. In other words, the Great Stimulus was diverted away from US workers and US labor, and was given away to our greatest economic competitor. This ABC News broadcast should be part of every Mitt Romney campaign ad. It is shameful that in our attempts to restore the American worker, our tax dollars went to subsidize Chinese, state owned, companies.

In PA, we have a law that public projects must use US labor and companies….
