It's about time we start spending some monies HERE in the United States!!!

Our bridges and roads here in Washington are in perfect shape and need no repair because our Bimbette passed that 9 cent per gallon state wide gas tax.

Oh, no wait. That money (collected state wide) mostly goes to King County.

I retract my statement about the bridges and roads.

But agreed. Lets spend some of our tax dollars here first!

Yeah, $1 billion is going to do a lot ... hmmm, that $400+ billion dumped into Iraq is looking dumber and dumber isn't it?

It's the fact that we are getting monies for AMERICA instead of every last dime going to Iraq! Money needs to be spent on THE MOTHER LAND! Without a proper HOMELAND budget America will decay from the inside out! And it won't matter who is sitting in the White House.

We borrow $3 billion per week to fund the war in Iraq. $1 billion for bridges is a sick joke. That wouldn't even be enough for a 20% down payment towards the I5 bridge!

No Vitalogy, but it might well do something for the Sellwood bridge.

Remember this: On a scale of 1 to 100 as far as safety, the bridge in Minneapolis that collapsed rated a 50.

The Sellwood bridge rates a 2.

DOHHHhhh

But it's good start. We need to look at funding America in the proper way. we need to print money FOR AMERICA instead of the asinine way that we fund Iraq/Afghanistan. Funding America is crucial to our livelihood. Making sure that we don't rot from the inside out.
AMERICA FIRST! Spend the money here! Get the money out of the hands of the EXTREME few in Washington and give it to the states! Without that we are doomed.
