Didn’t they already fix the roads and bridges in the last Porkulus bill?
Pray for America
The list, ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Can I ask what happens to the Federal and State Fuel Tax Revenues?
I thought those taxes were to pay for roads.
I guess there’s no use in asking where the fuel taxes, 2290’s (Federal Highway Use Tax), or the 12% Federal Excise Taxes went.
And now they want more? Fuggedaboudit.
“Republicans should applaud one piece of the administration’s transportation budget proposal—consolidating 55 highway programs down to five. “This would give states and localities greater flexibility to direct resources to their highest priorities,” the budget said.”
This is called a bribe. There are no “resources”. Most of the states are technically bankrupt, as is the Federal Government.
Obama is determined to destroy the United States, and we’re relying on a select few Republicans to stop him cold.
We’ll see soon whether Republicans stay together on chopping the budget down to ‘affordable’.
The House needs to allocate ZERO dollars for this.
What for? The day of petroleum powered machines is over. I am working on a wind powered boat. I will post pics after my rights to harness this new source are secure.
Why dont we wait until we have the money to pay for all this!
Just another wasted hundreds of billions. We talk about it like it’s chump change!
more shovel ready temp jobs?
Didn’t Porkulus repave every highway in the Continental US already?
It is supposed to be paid for by the gasoline taxes they have previously collected. Of course, I’m sure those went into the general spend it all fund.
Hmm looks like he’s loading up the union jobs for them to ‘return’ the money to him for 2012 elections.
Obviously they stole those funds for other Pork projects instead. But hey! What's 6 hundred Billion dollars more these days, going to matter anyway?
MaObama has seen the light and is now suddenly a Budget Hawk. These aren't taxes, they are “INVESTMENTS”!
Well, at least spending on “post Roads” is explicitly Constitutional . . .
We can’t trust Obama and the Democrats to do it without massive corruption, of course, but at least this is Constitutional. You could probably even stretch it to cover “high speed rail” if you squint hard enough.
Doesn’t make it a smart thing to do. But at least it’s Constitutional.
