The price tag on a six-year highway and transportation bill stalled in the House of Representatives is $375 billion while a Senate highway bill calls for spending $318 billion. The White House has proposed a $256 billion measure.

$375B...$315B...$256B...who cares. If any of these guys had any real concerns about spending they would kill this thing and spend $zero. GW continues his goofy duck walk; big on rethoric and small on substance.

They need to kill this one, but Highways must be built and maintained.

It is the pork that stinks.
