With the highway trust fund running short of cash and the federal budget running large deficits, lawmakers and the Obama administration are looking for ways to pay for improving the nation's aging infrastructure while getting new projects off the ground.

More evidence that we are approaching insolvency. And Kerry's Bill is more evidence that liberals will stop at nothing to continue to spend, spend, spend .....

I wonder what new projects the liberals want to get off the ground. Is this a back door way for the Federal Gov't to once again bail out the states?

High speed rail, perhaps?

Probably a way to fund jobs for unions who will then line the coffers of democrats.

We have spent enough on infrastructure. The money is gone and we have a few filled potholes to show for it.
