Obama to Call for Major Road, Rail and Runway Spending

Gov spending is inefficient. Recently our utility had to trench the street and repave. Went well. Then last week the county fixed the road that leads to ours. There were about 8 guys just directing traffic. 2 would have done nicely. But 6 supervising 2 seems a gov norm.

The way Obama is going we'll lose our bond rating----which will be an unmitigated disaster.

Not having a massive tax increase would certainly help my family throw money into the economy.

BTW, I love trains, but passenger rail is a financial dog. Some commuter systems can be ok, but they are rare and virtually all other systems worldwide are massively subsidizEd.
