It does make sense. We built a lot of our stuff in the 1950’s so of course things are going to wear out. This was bound to happen at some time. Now seems to be that time.
In china, it depends on which level of government wants the project. Provincial or higher, the Party and Government leaders simply call in everyone involved and tell them how its going to be.
Just think what that 500M that went to Solyndra could have done for our “decaying infrastructure”!
Bears repeating...
I thought this was taken care of in his first term.
He vowed --- in his mau mau undertaker voice...
No problem the five million new illegals will mend the infrastructure like the fifteen million already here.
"I guess those projects weren't quite so shovel ready...ha ha"
What a lying sack of crap he is, and what ignoramuses our population of low information progressive voters is.
That would be the second worse political deal in U.S. history for the net taxpayer.)
NOTHING can ever replace Obamacare as #1.
Reagans's 1986 immigration 'deal' with the lying SOB democratic Congress would be a close 3rd...
Can’t argue with that.
Unfortunately, half of American voters still froth with hatred at anyone who disagrees that their god Hussein can never do anything wrong.
Yep, if he did not pocket the stimulus it would be ok..
Bingo. Yet how quickly people forget.
The streets in our city are awful, but it’s because the idiots in charge are obsessed with so-called economic development and are wasting so much on Chamber of Commerce fantasies like downtown rejuvenation and more and more parks. They even want to spend money on building dams on the river to promote more river development. Meanwhile we have potholes that could swallow a VW Beetle and city employees haven’t even had a cost of living raise in 10 years.
Yep. What have they done with all the money from gas taxes over the decades? They’ve blown it on themselves and their cronies, buying votes, etc. Government ruins everything it touches.
What’s embarrassing is that the US outsourced the Presidency and still settled for a low IQ anti American.
That man is an embarrassment
Even the Moscow airport makes most of ours look sad.
Ofcourse, the over sized human debris shuffling around in pajamas doesn't help.
Any mention of the quality of that construction in China? You know, where the buildings have even literally fallen over into each other?
This guy is such an ass. HE is the real embarrassment.
Cut 5% from every entitlement check sent out until the problems are solved,,,
I understand the last state I lived in was more interested in bike trails then roads, but even at that for the most part the roads were not so bad.
I arrived in Dallas in the 80s to go to school at SMU. There was a turnpike between Dallas and Fort Worth that had just ceased collecting tolls, 75 was a 2-lane death trap/parking lot from 635 to downtown, and the North Dallas Tollway barely made it to North Dallas. I can still remember seeing the "master plan" for I75 and the 635 interchange as a model in Northpark Mall, and thinking to myself that it would never get finished.
You are absolutely right, the building is nonstop. Then again growth demands it, especially in the North. We are getting invaded by blue state refugees, I meet them every day in my work. It wasn't that long ago 121 was a two lane highway surrounded by farms from McKinney to Lewisville. Now that is a major tollway surrounded by development. Its crazy how fast things are changing. Then again, we have a robust economy that demands it, and we can afford it.
As far as Obama's demands, I think the infrastructure Obama imagines includes turtle tunnels, wind farms, and large chunks of cash laundered through the unions into the hands of democrat candidates. He is clueless, and the least qualified man in America when it comes to infrastructure needs of this nation.
