White House: Those bridges we promised to fix back in 2009 are totally falling apart

Five years ago, Democrats spent $700 billion on “fiscal stimulus,” much of which was supposed to consist of “public-works projects to repair the nation’s crumbling infrastructure.”

[NormsRevenge]

All Yur Stimulus are Up in Smoke!!!

[faithhopecharity]

The only thing “shovel- ready” about the administration’s last six Trillion dineros of “ spending” were the shovels the political crooks used to scoop up and steak all our money

[E. Pluribus Unum]

They weren't actually shovel-ready last time, but this time we guarantee that they are shovel-ready and we won't just steal it like we did last time!

We promise!

Report: Connecticut roads among worst in the country

Not up in smoke -

LAUNDERED through gov’t employee unions
back into the democRat coffers.

From the Washington Post, November 2008, detailing the Clown's "stimulus", aka "PorkUlus", that eventually passed in 2009:Democrats' Stimulus Plan May Reach $700 Billion...The plan would include new funding for public-works projects to repair the nation's crumbling infrastructure, as well as a fresh infusion of cash to promote green technology and alternative-energy sources.

If I had a nickel for every time I heard a politician says “crumbling roads and bridges”...

[headstamp 2]

The drumbeat for another trillion dollars to nowhere begins.

[mass55th]

If only one would collapse while Obama was crossing it.

[edpc]

Exactly. Biggest slush fund ever.

——LAUNDERED through gov’t employee unionsback into the democRat coffers.——

Exactly....

[Mr. K]

Gosh if only the government had $3 or $4Trillion dolloars to spend on ‘shovel-ready’ projects...

WHAT THE F#$%^ DID THEY DO WITH ALL THAT MONEY???

[alstewartfan]

$877B was simply not enough.

[Toespi]

“WHAT THE F#$%^ DID THEY DO WITH ALL THAT MONEY???”

Paid Soros and others back for the money they intentionally manipulated to cause the 2008 meltdown, thus assuring Obamas election.

On the other hand, private residences in the D.C. area did get quite the upgrade over the last 5 years.

[vpintheak]

Is that like everything else this administration has promised?

Don't forget about "waste, fraud and abuse."

[MrB]

Went to union salaries and pension funds and back into democRat campaign donations.

I can attest to the fact that a dollar doesn’t go as far as it used to, but $877 Billion was already ear marked for those shovel ready jobs to fix our infrastructure. I suggest the feds use that money before they ask for more. Oh it’s all gone they’ll say. Then congress needs to demand to be shown where the hell it all went or not another dime.
