Comments on: Instead of rebates, lets fix our infrastructure and put people back to work. http://sirenschronicles.com/2008/01/30/instead-of-rebates-lets-fix-our-infrastructure-and-put-people-back-to-work/ "To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public."-Teddy Roosevelt Fri, 29 Aug 2008 19:11:05 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 By: Jim http://sirenschronicles.com/2008/01/30/instead-of-rebates-lets-fix-our-infrastructure-and-put-people-back-to-work/#comment-3597 Jim Wed, 30 Jan 2008 22:22:59 +0000 http://sirenschronicles.com/2008/01/30/instead-of-rebates-lets-fix-our-infrastructure-and-put-people-back-to-work/#comment-3597 Dusty your right it benefits the Chinese more than Businesses and those that do not need it bbut this is more like it and Is oart of what I wrote on this more than a week ago. It seems to me that like everything else Bush does his plan is counterproductive. As usual he wants to help those that do not need it and ignore those that do in his creation of a new societal order! This will be a big fight and Bush will cry again until he gets his way. I say give a rebate to the 44 million households who would put it right back into the economy and under Bush's plan would get nothing. I do hear a move in this direction but we will see. Anyway The wealthy will just save it as they do not need it to survive which is purposely getting harder for average Americans under Bush. 2. Put average Americans back to work in meaningful constructive jobs that would rebuild our America and her failing infrastructure. The Interstate Highway System turned 50 last year, but the government neglected to give the system a much-needed birthday present. The government at all levels consistently underfunds infrastructure projects, from dams, bridges, and highways to aviation, railroads, and water systems. The tragic collapse of the I-35 bridge in Minneapolis was a wake up call to pay attention to our decaying infrastructure. But really, this bridge is the third wake up call for the United States to reevaluate how we treat critical infrastructure. The first was 9/11, which showed us that infrastructure is vulnerable to terrorism. Hurricane Katrina was a second wake up call, which showed us that infrastructure is vulnerable to natural disasters. This time, we know that infrastructure is vulnerable to use, age, and neglect. along with growing corruption as proven by Boston's Big Dig Boondoggle and we see examples of daily. ** I am sick of Bush mismanagement and Democratic complicity! We have been failed by our State and Federal Officials on every level and a rate cut or tax refund is not going to get us out of this still developing problem. We are helping the Chinese not us! We the people must actively get involved and be an active part of the solution. The corruption also must be stopped and we have got to be able to hold all parties including the Government accountable for criminal negligence and negligent complicity. Dusty your right it benefits the Chinese more than Businesses and those that do not need it bbut this is more like it and Is oart of what I wrote on this more than a week ago.

When I read about this bill..and how long it has been languishing in committee..I damn near shat myself. God-fucking-forbid we use some of Roosevelt's idea's to get this country back together both physically and financially. It would do at least two things..give people jobs and repair our disgustingly fucked up infrastructure..the part about water treatment plants really chapped my hide. Thats why I drink bottled water..it HAS to be cleaner than the shit in my tap, just as one example.

(ducks because of the reaGUN) reference. How many phrases and words have been corrupted by the current political styles of the last decades i have lost count, and thats in general..not even under the catogory ORWELLIAN. And yeah there are a dozen ways AT LEAST to help our tanking economy , trouble is NONE of the politicians in office right now are pushing any of em..and Pelosi and the give aways..I need to quit typing now...because i am LIVID with them. And her posture at the SOTU address, was i the only one, who saw a woman looking like some kind of freakin awestruck nun waiting for the pope to walk in , hands clutched in front of her and all, not to mention her facial expression - made me want to freaking hurl !!!
