Yup; he actually wanted a five-year plan. He said it openly.

The highway bill is nothing more than a guaranteed slush fund for the DC Cartel.
What happened to all of 0bie’s shovel ready jobs from seven years ago? Oh, that’s right....they’ve ALL already absconded with that (taxpayer) $$.

China does it with manual laborers paid a pittance and many of their projects don’t benefit the people anyway. They have trash and dead animals in their rivers, raw sewage pumped into them.

I think I read that there have been 34 of these short term bills....which brings us into the past when the Dems had both houses.

Да!
In all seriousness, I think he wanted a six-year plan.

Only a small portion of that money was actually allocated for “shovel-ready” highway jobs.

Not even some libs liked that idea, noting that it committed Congress to spending beyond not only the president’s term but their own terms.

We cant keep on funding transportation by the seat of our pants, You seem to be pulling your governance out of your a$$, Obama. If I were a Congressman, I'd stop every funding bill I could that would go to you.
Anything you want to do, fund, order or even think about, I want to stop.

Funny ow all the last-minute/continuing resolution/no budget crap really began in earnest under Dingy Harry as he and the Dims opted to go that route to protect Obama’s back and make it easier than ever for taxpayer money to disappear down the toilet....and Obama had no problem with it.
