<<<Everything that is an earmark and not a direct infrastructure expense, I am against.>>> In essence you are against Obama's stated objectives for an "American Recovery AND Reinvestment Act of 2009". There are good reasons why everything can not and should not be directed toward infrastructure expense. 1. Not all infrastructure proposals are "shovel ready". 2. Not all infrastructure proposals will have good ROI. 3. There is high liklihood that some infrastructure proposals will fail. 4. Very little infrastructure expense will remedy current economic woes. Your intentions are good.
