Obama to propose infrastructure stimulus

[native]

It only takes $50B to build that many roads, etc. and we spent $800B on what?

If the original stimulus package would have been $350B for this kind of stuff it would have had a lot more bi-partison support.

QFT.

The government shouldnt be rebuilding our infrastructure in the first place. What will it take? 100 years to get this all done? We'll all be dead by then. Gov't can't count ballots, how do we expect it to fix our roads efficiently?

You mean all those great roads paid for by the government in the first place? Only reason they are not in good shape is that legislatures are too cowardly to actually admit that there is a problem and to TAX to pay for it.

There was a ton of money in the 1st and 2nd stimulus for infrastructure..................

This fu*king president is clueless.

Government built infrastructure helps private industry. Imagine if the auto companies, trucking companies, or oil companies were responsible for building the roads?

Infrastructure could be Obama's legacy. Tons of bridges and roads and etc need improvement. All that would aid business.

If you put that clueless mutherfucker Obama in a road or bridge than I am all for this SPENDING more money thingy.

traffic jams would be reduced and roads would be repaired much more efficiently if it were done by private companies

I just keep thinking of Shawshank when the warden is taking kickbacks for road jobs.

LOTS of shady dealings with unions and contracts to be done.

Altar boys need a union for their working conditions.

They could use one. Should I contact the AFL-CIO and see about starting one up?
