ABC News: Engineers Say $1.6 TRILLION Need To Fix Crumbling Infrustructure

[NashVegas]

There's something familiar about that number ....

1. We could have almost

2 more wars for that!

[shaniqua6392]

2. Yes it it $1.6 Trillion over the next 20 years.

That is about $80 Billion per year across the entire country.
The "war" is costing us $12 Billion PER WEEK.
That means we could pay for the crumbling infrastructure with the funds from about 6 1/2 weeks of the war.
When you do the math you realize even more how much Bush has screwed this country with his policies and the Iraq Occupation. Bush does not care about American people. White or Black.

3. Uh, almost that a month, not a week. But your point is well taken...

4. I Was Thinking of the $1.65 Trillion Tax Cuts from 2001

5. Well, Rummy told us on 9/10/01 the Pentagon lost 2 trillion dollars. nt

6. Oh Where Oh Where Can It Be?

Just one more thing Jr. pissed away.

7. Hammer the repubs!

You ask me, this is a PRIME example of an excellent albatross to hang around the Republicans necks: the bastards plunder our country--tax cuts for the richest 1%--drown the government in a bathtub, so to speak--to hell with all you working class stiffs--I GOT MINE! All the while the infrastructure built with tax money that made their riches possible is falling apart. Blackout in New York because the grid won't handle it. Steam pipe in NY blows up a city block. Bridges fall apart. WE NEED ANOTHER ROUND OF "TAX RELIEF"!
