Obama has had a great plan. In fact, his plan, historically has conservative roots. Look at how Eisenhower invested in American infrastructure and what it brought to the economy.
Come one people, we can't debate if you don't know anything about anything.
Obama has been talking about rebuilding infrastructure since before he was elected. He's had 4 years and the only thing I know that was built was a three million dollar turtle crossing.
Obama wasted what stimulus money was available for infrastructure rebuilding by giving it to his campaign bundlers for their green energy failures.
Furthermore when Obama says, "We're gonna take that money we're saving by winding down two wars and invest in America", he's either lying of ignorant. We BORROWED the money we've spent. There is not a ready source of capital to divert to other uses.
Alabama Republicans Jo Bonner and Robert Aderholt took to the U.S. House floor in July, denouncing the Obama administration’s stimulus plan for failing to boost employment. “Where are the jobs?” each of them asked.
Over the next three months, Bonner and Aderholt tried at least five times to steer stimulus-funded transportation grants to Alabama on grounds that the projects would help create thousands of jobs.
They joined more than
100 congressional Republicans and several Democrats who, after voting against the stimulus bill, wrote Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood seeking money from $1.5 billion the plan set aside for local road, bridge, rail and transit grants. The $862 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act passed last year with no Republican votes in the House and three in the Senate.

Eisenhower became the 34th U.S. president in 1953, he pushed for the building of an interstate highway system. Although Congress had first authorized a national highway system in 1944, it had always been woefully underfunded. Throwing the full weight of his presidency behind the project, Eisenhower declared to Congress on February 22, 1955: 'Our unity as a nation is sustained by free communication of thought and by easy transportation of people and goods. The ceaseless flow of information throughout the Republic is matched by individual and commercial movement over a vast system of interconnected highways crisscrossing the country and joining at our national borders with friendly neighbors to the north and south.
'Together, the uniting forces of our communication and transportation systems are dynamic elements in the very name we bear — United States. Without them, we would be a mere alliance of many separate parts.'

And Republicans complain that building infrastructure is a waste of time and money. The GOP used to be the "Party of Ideas" and the Party of "Science". Now it just filled with ignorant tards who don't know anything. pity
They believe every ignorant lie they are told and won't even bother finding out the truth.
