Obama touts $50 billion transportation proposal - BostonHerald.comWASHINGTON — President Barack Obama on Monday lobbied for Republican support from Capitol Hill for a burst of spending on transportation projects, calling his proposal a jobs creator for the middle class and an overdue investment in the country’s foundation.
"There’s no reason why we can’t do this," Obama said in a brief Rose Garden event. "There’s no reason why the world’s best infrastructure should lie beyond our borders. This is America. We’ve always had the best infrastructure ... All we need is the political will."
Really?....No, seriously?!?!?
We already have billions upon billions collected in federal fuel taxes (about 20% of which gets hijacked for urban mass transit boondoggles, BTW), untold billions collected at the state level, and a nearly $1 trillion unstimulating succubus bill, which was supposed to fund all them "shovel ready" infrastructure projects, and now the Boyking and his Bolsheviketts go pimping for another $50 billion?
Who, besides those banging up the DNC smack, is buying this?
