In the wake of the Amtrak tragedy Democrats have been holding it up as an example of broken infrastructure and say we need to raise more taxes to invest into infrastructure like China does. Well perhaps if China did not have all of our manufacturing jobs we would have a local tax base that could pay for infrastructure and education. Only 14 Dem's bolted on Pacific trade bill that will lose more American jobs. Brilliant...just fucking brilliant.
 
And assholes like you scream that it is all a boondoggle and we shouldn't invest in our own country. Even bridges that are highly needed or more money to upgrade them to be able to handle a future earth quake = boondoggle! You spent how much on infrastructure in Iraq? SO you have no effin room to whine!

We spend about 2-3% of the federal budget on infrastructure. If we wish to have the best,,,well, we better be ready to pay for it. Of course, you don't want us to be the best! Your plan is Slash, cut and burn!!!
 
I spent none until GW Bush took office. GH Bush never invaded Iraq.

Are you ok??? Both Bushes invaded Iraq and spent money on infrastructure, science, r&d and education! Every president science George Washington has done so!


I don't see how America compete in this world without spending more at this point. It is like we want infrastructure failure...Of course, you would love to see it.

China does not have all our manufacturing jobs. We are making more stuff than ever before.

Technology obsoleted our manufacturing jobs, not China.

Besides, manufacturing is the trough of the smiley curve of production value addition. Design and distribution are where its at.

That's why the US is being tough about protecting intellectual property rights in the negotiations.

There simply is no money in making T-shirts and lava lamps.

The Democrats blocked a trade bill you oppose and the GOP supports and you somehow mutate that into an attack on Democrats?

whoa that is mental.

I'm NOT a Liberal, but I do believe that we need to spend on infrastructure. We could pay for it by cutting waste and unnecessary spending.

What would about 2.5 million buy?

1. The National Institute of Health’s Center for Alternative and Complimentary Medicine spent $387,000 to study the effects of Swedish massages on rabbits.

2. The Department of Interior spent $10,000 to monitor the growth rate of saltmarsh grass. In other words, the government is paying people to watch grass grow. On the bright side, they have not started paying people to watch paint dry.

3. The National Science Foundation has granted more than $200,000 to a research project that is trying to determine how and why Wikipedia is sexist. Wikipedia’s War on Woman?

4. The National Institute of Health funded a study to see if mothers love dogs as much as they love kids. Regardless of the results, this experiment cost taxpayers $371,026.

5. The federal government has granted $804,254 for the development of a smartphone game called “Kiddio: Food Fight.” The game is intended to teach parents how to convince their children to try and eat new healthier food choices.

6. The National Endowment for the Humanities has provided $47,000 for undergraduate classes that teach students about laughing and humor.

7. The National Science Foundation spent $856,000 to teach mountain lions how to walk on treadmills as part of a research project whose aim was to better understand mountain lions’ instincts.

As to no. 5 above, words used matter, as does the visual. Call healthier foods candy and candy vegetables. See how that works. :)

If we can't spend and invest on our own homeland. Well, we won't be a first world country very long. Some of our infrastructure as of this time is unacceptable!

And you scream: Cut, slash and burn! Of course, that will make us a third world country! And of course you will blame the democrats for it.

Now chew on that moron!

You can stick your infrastructure up your ass. There is no crumbling infrastructure. It is a media lie. Obama spent millions and millions on "infrastructure" and we ended up with white elephants and boondoggles. Why is it going to be different this time?
 
Obama has spent about 159 billion dollars on failed renewable energy projects (Solyndra, Abound Solar, Fiskar, etc). That is money better spent on things such as bridges and roads and guess what, it provides jobs and actually stimulates the economy.
