An Infrastructure Bank?
What will he call it?
We’ve already got Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which has has done absolutely nothing to control.
How about calling this new operation Hussein Mad?
Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Hussein Mad.

Who is going to be administering the bank.......SEIU?You got it!
The entire purpose of this proposed union slush-fund "bank" would be so the pinky rings can more easily launder (and plunder) tax dollars
To: Libloather
Just once I would love to see some one run to repeal laws and regs!
Pass nothing just get out of the way and clean the books.........but no, they all think they have to pass a law named after a child and tell us how great they are, god only gave us 10 laws, we should return to that.

Inclined to think the fiscal ignorance is there, though, add a few curious words to persuade uninformed of superior knowledge, have an alternative motive, and there you have it.

The long-term framework includes establishment of an Infrastructure Bank "to leverage federal dollars and focus on investments of national and regional significance that often fall through the cracks in the current siloed transportation programs," the White House said.
Oh, you mean like a Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac that state and local government officials can bleed dry? Brilliant.

EVERYTHING this asshole does props up the public sector (Grow dat Gubmint!) and the unions (like Hitler's "Brownshirts", he has a use for them, at least for now), effectively using ALL of our taxdollars to buy or pay-off demonRAT votes of these scum (not ALL of the rank-and-file members, but MANY of them and their scumbag leadership).
He and his Socialist/Communist cronies care not ONE bit about the rest of us.

Never forget.
Oh, gee, an Infrastructure Bank. How cute. And how many unionized federal workers will need to be hired for this payback project? Sounds like something else to be put on the "defund it" list for next year.

And while I’m screaming in frustration about this, would somebody please explain to me how one goes about “leveraging” taxpayer dollars?

Not content with having poured sugar down the gas-tank the Man-Child is going to put sand in the carburetor. There has got to be something that can be done to stop this moron before he takes us all over the cliff. If Republicans take back the House and Senate impeachment hearings should start forthwith!

More socialist giveaways to the unions.Yep, I like the way the article just calls it a "labor day" event/gathering (whatever). He was at a Union sponsered Labor Day event and stood on the platform, probably with some union guy, telling the crowd that more "govt" (read, taxpayer) money was going to be on the way.
Also, I don't think they have spent the whole of the "stimulus" have they? Why not use the rest of that money?

Obama is stuck on his European-copycat mode. King Zero wants to run America into a ditch just like the EU. He is way beyond stupid and borders on 'insane conduct.' 0 takes his orders from The Fed's criminal banking cartel. Fears Rise as EU Nations Aim to Raise Borrowing
The eurozone debt crisis is about to enter a critical phase as governments prepare to step up borrowing in the capital markets to fund their faltering economies.
Some strategists are warning that some of the weaker economies could fail to raise the amount of money they need as eurozone governments attempt to issue double the amount of debt this month compared with August.
Eurozone governments will try to raise €80bn ($103bn) in September compared with new bond issuance of €43bn in August. Spain is expected to attempt to borrow €7bn in September compared with €3.5bn in August, according to ING Financial Markets.
Spain, Portugal and Ireland , so-called peripheral eurozone economies, are considered most in danger of being shunned by investors as worries persist over the health of their banks and economies. Greece is no longer a concern because it has emergency loans to cover its funding for the next two years.

I’m not a registered member of FT, but I appreciate the reminder that the EU nations are bankrupt and set to deflate nicely into the global depression, as are we. Good reminder and thanks for the heads up that they are at another milestone. Really, thanks for the tip.
