Infrastructure Bill

Well, Bush's reign is over, but precedent is set. Congress is out of control.

I can't get behind the "Stimulus Bill". It's just not good enough and its so full of bribes.

But I want the infrastructure money it promises. I want it bad.

I live in Honolulu. We need levees, and storm walls, and roads without sinkholes. We need bike paths that don't compete with TheBus. We need buses that aren't always full. We need cars that don't choke walkers with exhaust.

We want better health care access but having jobs would at least put us back in the crappy employer paid system. Planning, supplying, constructing, designing, operating, managing, cleaning, feeding, housing, transporting... jobs and health... the Infrastructure Bill is two birds with one stone. From there we can improve.

I want the bill that's 100% infrastructure. Give money to everybody for physical, buildable things that they need. President Obama needs to give up on "The Stimulus". That lemon has failed. The squabbling will never stop. But if Obama gives us the infrastructure, he could actually win this politcal war.

Logisitically, he could use that $350 billion leftover from the "Bailout" to fund the Infrastructure Bill. The current plan seems to be to give that money to the gamblers and the banks. Wall Street and the Big Bankers are crazy. For once... screw them.

Although, if more of of us had money, we might pay more of our mortages, loans, credit cards, and bills. Infrastructure could actually be a win-win.

Those bastards always win.

Infrastructure. Non-gas/dirty/coal/oil based energy. Jobs. Paychecks. Congressmen and Senators would have a hard time being against those things.

And at least we'd get half of our stolen "Bailout" money back.

Infrastructure. Show us Yes We Can.
