Arkanas Blog has a great piece up on the good work the stimulus is doing here in Arkansas by enabling new police officers to be hired. In bad economic times people get desperate and the crime rate goes up, that’s a no brainer. So the stimulus that was supposed to be our highway to socialism is going towards ensuring law and order. Here’s the breakdown of what cities will be hiring new cops and how much money is going to be spent, but just remember kiddies, if you live in one of these communities be sure to tell your city officials you don’t want to be safe and secure if it means you have to benefit from that scary socialism:
