[QUOTE="Albion, post: 75932253, member: 93831"] There is no issue here at all. The Congressional Republicans are quite willing--and have announced it and been more than specific about it--[B]to do just what you are concerned about having done, i.e. repairing roads and bridges. [/B] The analogy is quite wrong. If 2/3 of the money that would be appropriated by the proposed legislation were for roads and bridges and etc, you would have a bona fide point. But that is NOT the case with this legislation. It affords only a tiny amount, less than 10% for such repairs. The great majority of the allocations would be for pet projects of the Democrats that have nothing whatsoever to do with what people understand by "infrastructure." Nor is 4 TRILLION dollars so little that we could just wink at all the pork that's in the bill, just for the sake of getting money for roads. It is, in fact, about 1/8 of the national debt total, which is already the largest by far of any nation in the world. [/QUOTE]
