Ted, > Because the normal highway budgets have not been adequate.

That's not what led us into this mess, nor is infrastructure improvements going to prevent a "crisis from turning into a catastrophe," as Obama puts it.

I repeat: Fixing and maintaining the highways should be part of the normal highway budget.

You can keep sticking your head in the sand pretending that what I am telling you doesn't makes sense but the fact remains that we have been deferring maintenance on our infrastructure for years. You understand, Ten.....billions of dollars have gone for two wars and billions of dollars of revenue have been lost due to Bush's tax cuts. Cuts in spending were made even as the deficit ballooned. Now the Rs couldn't cut their favorite pork so they decided to cut elsewhere. Yes, you guessed it.....what's a freeway with a few holes and bridges that don't keep standing.

Now go back to your favorite position......head in the sand.
