<$200 billion towards rebuilding America’s infrastructure would have been real stimulus — and a smart investment in the future.
I just watched a show on our failing infrastructure and thought the same thing. As much as I detest Obama, why couldn’t he have championed the creation of a program to fix the infrastructure? It could put experienced construction crews to work and offer apprenticeships to those wanting to learn a trade; kinda like a construction CCC from the Depression. But I guess that’s too easy, huh?
Politicians never push for funding anything that is not new so that they can put their name on it. Here in Pittsburgh, we have the most bridges of any U.S. city and many of them are in need of repair. What do we do?.... Dig 2 tunnels underneath the Allegheny river at a cost of 1 billion dollars.

Excellent question. Part of the answer, I think, is that Hussein wanted to bleed America — not rescue it. Another part of the anwer is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=duQDVTczGbA
