Fiscal finess

摘要

When I was in the Air Force, standard operating procedure was "Hurry up and wait." You rushed double-time to get somewhere, only to stand in line for what seemed like hours. You rushed to complete a project by an imposed deadline, only to wait days or weeks for the powers-that-be to act on it or call you in to brief them.rnThis modus operandi applies to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) as well.
