George Bush's continued failures....

Here's an "interesting" read -

I use the word "interesting" for comical reasons....as the more you read, the funnier it gets. Our beloved (at least by the overachieving, slow talking, and surprisingly manipulative folks in society) president (we'll call him Jorge from now on), signed a bill back in 2005 that is beginning to pay dividends, well to who else but his republican pals in various states.

The Highway Bill was completed back in the summer of 2005, and designated $286 Billion dollars to improve our nation's road/transportation lines. Interesting huh? Does our country need better roads?? In some areas, probably...in all states?? Probably not. Am I an expert civil engineer, a community planner, or a responsible citizen dedicated to monitoring the quality and care of our road systems...no. Can I tell the difference between money well spent, and money spent that very simply should be spent on more important domestic inefficiencies....HELL YES.

Why do I bring up this bill nearly 2 years later one might ask?? Well, I read an interesting article the other day about a bridge that is being built in Alaska. This bridge will cost roughly $230 Million dollars to construct just outside of Anchorage. The bridge, which was voted down just months before the Highway Bill was approved, will be funded by....you guessed it, the Highway Bill. Alaska, our least populated state, and 4th lowest provider of economic means got the 4th highest amount of money allocated to improving roads (now I love Alaska, it has to be our most beautiful state, but do the moose need better roads to travel from one tree to the next?). Better yet, the bridge will be named "Don Young Bridge" adequately after congressman, and Bush friend Don Young.

Do not be confused by my sarcasm, I am not a fence jumping democrat (although I will ride the fence on many issues). However, I am sick and tired of Jorge Bush and his cabinet making poor decision after poor decision. I will not blame Jorge for many of the problems caused in previous presidencies either....those of Clinton, and Jorge's father, Big W, but I will stand on point and confirm that this president has been our worst in my lifetime.

Not until the people of this country step up and stop the grossly out of control politc-ing and campaigning, will the United States ever have leaders who truly make decisions based on OUR needs, and the needs of our people "in need".

Corporate campaign dollars, billions every year, keep our political means in this country as corrupt as ever....and until that changes, our nation will continue to deteriorate....

Only two more years....
