Iraq has cost $446 billion, not $1 trillion. Costofwar.com shows the true number.

Isn’t funny after Katrina and now this, two Democrat states with two Democrat controlled cities have catastrophes and yet they can’t wait to blame someone else. Who’s responsibility was it to shore up the levees, the bridges, etc? Just the federal gov’t? Give me a break.

I’ll bet the latest transportation bill probably provides more money for highways and bridges then any in US history.

To be fair he was reading from a report that says by the end of the war it will be at 1 Trillion.....but we were nearing it lightning quick.

“”I’ll bet the latest transportation bill probably provides more money for highways and bridges then any in US history.””

Hm, I wonder how many fossil fuels will be burned in the effort to upgrade our crumbling infrastructure. The reality is that conrete, steel and asphalt are critical raw materials in construction. THose materials require huge amounts of fossil fuels to produce. I think that this represents a dilemma for the Dems. They will have to agree to more greenhouse gas emissions while the infrastructure is upgraded.

And the vast amount of that has been spent in THIS country.

Actually one of the dutie sof the President is bridge repair. He actually has a construction helmet with the presidential seal on it and a presidential jack hammer.

Bill Clinton had 8 years to repair this bridge. Can’t we lay the blame at his feet?
