Quote from moneymonger:
This constitues another dismal falure of the Keynesian approach.
Borrow and spend on useless make-work projects. My brother-who lives in Lousisana-works as an electrical engineer. His firm recently won a bid to retrofit a previously shuttered refinery for
a firm called Dynamic Fuels LLC-a wholley owned subsideray of Tyson Foods. The goal of the retrofit was to see if Chicken renderings could be refined into biofuel. After completion of the
plant one barrel of biodiesel-55 gallons- was produced. This great achievement earned Don Tyson-the chicken magnet- upwards of $200,000,000 in stimulus funds from the great Investment recovery act of 2008. Of course the cost of the
effort was a fraction of the payout to Tyson foods=easy money.
AS of this date Charleys chicken Farm- as it was come to be known-is shuttered. It has no commercial value.
