Across the airwaves today, I have heard the president speak with
urgency about our crumbling infrastructure and about how many
Americans are “forced” to spend more on transportation than on
food.
I am so impressed with his call, I am moved to ask a question.
If the need for infrastructure spending is so great, then why
in the name of all things Shovel Ready didn’t we use the first
GIGANTIC stimulus to address the problem???
Many Americans must be asking exactly that question as the
president’s call rolls echoes far and wide.
It wouldn’t be because the White House simply delegated the
first stimulus to Congress to spend just any old way they wanted,
would it?
Nah, that would just be plain unwise.

Uh...a little late on the uptake aren't you Hunter?

It can't be possible to "save or create" fewer jobs than the trillion they stole the first time did, I say we hear them out. They just might be on to something here. Freaking criminals.

No, Ken. Just moved by the president's comments all over the radio today. I know he's mentioned it before, but seems to be driving harder to push for that second stimulus based on infrastructure as the election nears.

Isn't this just a bunch of baloney with the infrastructure et al? Doesn't this all have to do with supporting and giving jobs to the Unions?
