I have been working since I was legally able to.
I do not need you to "put me to work".

If I lost one of the two jobs that I have, I would
find another one, I would not need you to "put me to work".

My parents ran a small business, they worked their fingers to
the bone and somehow managed to put 5 kids through private
school, they never needed you to "put them to work"
(Although due to your punitive taxation policies, often times
it seemed as though you were trying to "put them out of work").

My grandparents were farmers in Eastern Montana. They lived through
some incredibly difficult times (perhaps you've heard of the Great Depression),
often times all they had was the cattle they could keep alive and a wheat crop
that might or might not grow.
They never needed you to "put them to work".

I guess what I'm trying to say is Take Your Patronizing Little Sign and Shove it Up Your Ass.

I get very angry at this sign as well. As there is one posted outside my work for a 3 month project that has cut about 30% from my sales, effectively eliminating any chance for me to get a bonus.

I think they spent several million dollars on those signs, too. But whatever, I'm glad they're widening that boring stretch of road from Gallup to Shiprock.

Does widening the road keep with Obama's long term energy goals, or is it purely a make work project.

False dichotomy.
