I heard some female liberal hack on Fox News a few nights ago saying that spending all this money on infrastructure will add jobs, because how can people get to work with all these crumbling roads and bridges? Now let's get real. I might agree that we need to make some significant investments on road and bridge repair. My state, Pennsylvania, has had an on-going plan for repairing all bridges for quite some time, so why we now need the federal government to butt in, I don't know. Regardless of the current needs, as one who has been all over this country, I have yet to see a place where Americans could not get to work because of the disrepair of roads and bridges (not withstanding the collapsed bridge in Minneapolis, which was due to shoddy workmanship). If these people are going to argue for their side, they ought to at least stay within the realm of realism. I guess this is just another way of trying to make the America Obama inherited from Bush seem like little more than a third-world nation.

Socialists do not live in a world of reality; they live in utopia. And if only they spend more money, they'll get there. Yes, we will become a third-world country, by suicide, so that every loser who wants to get back at "the man" will be satisfied.
Just read that the Obama pork bill includes "$200 million to plant sod on the National Mall." Last time I was in DC the grass on the Mall looked fine. This is oviously necessary due to the mass of delinquents that trashed the Mall on Inauguration Day(see post from January 23). Therefore, this expense ought to added into the inauguration costs.
Dave, that is a great point. I agree entirely. That plague of locusts turned the mall into a desert. I think it's a metaphor for what they will do to the entire country.
