If we are ever to solve our mounting traffic problem, the whole interstate system must be authorized as one project, to be completed approximately within the specified time. Only in this way can industry efficiently gear itself to the job ahead. Only in this way can the required planning and engineering be accomplished without the confusion and waste unavoidable in a piecemeal approach. Furthermore, as I pointed out last year, the pressing nature of this problem must not lead us to solutions outside the bounds of sound fiscal management. As in the case of other pressing problems, there must be an adequate plan of financing. To continue the drastically needed improvement in other national highway systems, I recommend the continuation of the Federal Aid Highway Program
Dwight Eisenhower, "State of the Union, 1956"
You know that he also wanted a balanced budget. I suppose that this sort of President is long gone in our past. From reading some of the postings, I am reminded how much both parties have changed over the years and am quite sure that Eisenhower and JFK would not recognize their respective parties today.
I think you are wrong. Certainly the Republican Party has gone completely over the edge. Corporations are people, let him die and applauding executions. When you point out these monstrous positions, the current Republican party says you must be a socialist or communist. This Republican party is 90% white.
Democrats are everyone else. Since the Democratic Party is fighting for 100% of the American people and the Republican Party is fighting for the wealthy 1% and corporations, many Americans make the mistake that because they are fighting, they must be equally to blame and therefore "the same". I believe JFK would be proud of the Democrats and Eisenhower would be a Democrat, just like his grand daughter and grand son.
You are a fine example of everything that is wrong with our political system. Morons who bullshit instead of using honest dialogue and understanding. A couple of members of an audience is not 'the Republican Party'. Your obsession with bullshit statistics that have already been proven to be bullshit is laughably pathetic.
And then you have the audacity to claim 'everyone else' as Democrats. How the hell can anyone take you seriously?
