Poor Kid owes $92,000.

Because of strangling regulations, she couldn’t even open a lemonaide stand to try to make money to start paying off that debt.

Murray/Collins/Durbin. It looks like it’s waiting in the wings ready to be rolled out at the appropriate moment after the joint session is browbeat by Barry, and any dissenters are cajoled/sent a message by Barry, Hoffa and the media.

That’s how they roll...over all of us.

“Tell this nihilist marxist punk to go pound sand.”

Also, tell obama to come up with scorable budget. No more trillion dollar dribs and drabs. I would love to see Boehner ask Barry for a “common sense” scorable budget. Use the dims own words and shove it down their throats. Of course Barry won’t do it. Then we need to hammer him for being the unserious vacationer-in-chief that he is.

Infrastructure and the military are two things that tax dollars should support. BUT..reckless spending has put us behind the eight ball. The US does NOT have money to spend! Obama already made his choices and blew through trillions.

The Republicans better have a strong response ready for this ass clown.

Judging how they squandered what we handed them in 2010, I won't be holding my breath.

This is nothing more than political theater. All he wants is to be able to say is - “I had a plan to save the country form that evil BUSH policies, but the conservatives would not play my game”. He knows there is ZERO chance of any more spending bills passing the House - he knows that as does anyone above room temperature.

I’ve witnessed some road and bridge construction in my area - didn’t make a difference - I just don’t get it, the local spending is relatively little with most of the workers from out of town - a few benefit, e.g. local merchants but very little, if any, money is put into the hands of those that need income to survive. Fore sure, no additional jobs were created, locally.

We can start funding projects with the leftover $500 m from Solyndra.

"Infrastructure spending" is code for "union payoffs."

He’s in Detroit, a city with 50% unemployment & 40+ years of liberal gov’t, advocating more infrastructure spending. What is wrong with this picture?
