Vice President Joe Biden implored Americans on Monday to find the resources to invest in its ports, warning the U.S. will fall behind its competitors unless it spends now to bolster its infrastructure.

Addressing a crowd of about 300 on a wind-swept dock in Charleston, S.C., Biden said the United States is behind the rest of the world.

iden: Infrastructure is key to growing middle class

Yeah, because compared to Central America, South America, Africa, or Asia, our infrastructure is severely underdeveloped. *ahem*

Let's see...uh, this...

Three-quarters of Americans think teachers paid less than they really are
Washington Examiner ^ | 9-16-13 | ASHE SCHOW

"Seventy-four percent of Americans think teachers make less than they really do, according to a new poll from Rasmussen. The average teacher salary in America is $55,000 (upward of $75,000 in Chicago), but three quarters of Americans think teachers earn less than that. Over half of Americans (52 percent) believe teachers are paid too little."

...or infrastructure?

Pivot back to “infrastructure.” They pirouette so much, they need Rahm back. Can’t focus on one single thing for more than a week.

Good point. The Keystone Pipeline is infrastructure.

One of my coworkers was going off about Tom Steyer turning activist to fight the Keystone project. I told him he needed to follow the money so he looked up all Steyer’s public holdings. He is, surprise surprise, big into all the kinds of companies that would compete with a Keystone pipeline. Just like Warren Buffett. Obama’s dislike of Keystone is all political payback to his rich friends that make money off blockage of the pipeline.

That makes sense. I’ve seen the same in local governments (commissioners’ meetings), where relatives, former employees or other associates of business interests pretended to be radical environmentalists or animal-worshipers in order to stop new, small production business starts in rural areas.

Ever heard of unintended consequences?

Obamacare was just the final nail in the coffin.
Welcome to your socialist paradise!

[publius911]

Those who understand how to ‘create value’ are taking time off, hoping the dumbmasses [have their asses handed to them!] come to their senses.

There.
Fixed it for you.
