2. the do-nothing congress would never fund it.

i do wish the President would propose such a program.

[Jackpine Radical]

10. Let the fuckers refuse to fund it then.

At least the public will be able to see who's screwing them over, unlike now, when our Dear Leaders don't even dare to put any of it on the table.

We lost 2010 in large measure because Obama didn't even try to do what he promised in 2008.

12. The problem is, we could ask for them to do such a program, but there are people out there

PAYING THEM NOT TO!

[SalviaBlue]

14. A simple Google search shows that Obama has proposed infrastructure jobs programs.

The GOP has effectively stopped all progress in the US.

15. Whic is why you propose it over and over. Polarize the opposition, and destroy them.

[grahamhgreen]

16. Can you imagine the R's ever using that argument? No, they fight, they pass legislation over and

over, knowing it will be vetoed.

They don't give up before they fight.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. RUN, Bernie, RUN!

Yes, as a Democrat!

[think]

4. All the Democratic politicians should be framing the discussion like this

Because it just makes sense....

[R.Quinn]

7. +1

[Doctor_J]

17. Except they don't believe it. Today they're celebrating austerity

and deficit reduction. That's why they have so much trouble getting votes.

[R.Quinn]

6. It's amazing how much sense Bernie makes.

It's even more amazing how so many would rather choose war.

13. We only borrow money for war

When it comes to any thing else, we must have the cash. Like the bridge on the road across from my house. That little bridge fell apart last year and they put up a sign that says the cost to rebuild it is 185,000 dollars. I thought ok, thats alot of cash. I wonder why they are advertising that fact?
But if we have to go to war ,which we do all the time, thats just a few billion we have to flush and pay for later. Because we have to be the boss you know. If any one does anything we dont like they better get ready for an ass wooping. Thats how we roll.
