Reply #5: Investing $318 billion over six years [View All]

[stevedeshazer]

in our infrastructure, providing jobs for millions of unemployed workers, is a good idea.

I'd much rather see that than spending money on fighting wars on false pretenses.

I'd love to see Bush veto this; Congress had no problem granting an additional $87 billion to the military WITH NO STRINGS ATTACHED, more than DOUBLE the original Iraq War budget.

Bush was speaking/lying just today about "creating jobs". If we are going to run up the federal deficit so preciptously, I'd damn sure like my kids and grandkids to have roads and bridges instead of missiles and bombs.
