It was not a political compromise. How that money was spent in infrastructure was mandated by the Obama team and it was poorly thought out and had arrogance written all over it. It was frustrating for those of us in that sector to see the poor results and how poorly planned...

It was an administration fiasco, not a political compromise.

ken..."We should not allow the perfect to become the enemy of the good."....

Thought I heard this somewhere other than you....

Voltaire quote:

The perfect is the enemy of the good.

I've seen this misquoted, requoted, or paraphrased as: "Perfect is the worst enemy of Good Enough", "Perfection is the enemy of Good Enough", "Better Than Is the Enemy of Good Enough", "Better Is the Enemy of Good Enough" -- each seems to be an adaptation for a specific moral that the (mis)quoter is trying to convey.

We should not allow the perfect to become the enemy of the good.
