Do you agree with President Barack Obama’s six-year, $50 billion
plan to upgrade the country’s transportation infrastructure?
THIS WEEK’S QUESTION:
“Does the evidence support Judge Vaughn Walker’s finding that Proposition 8 is unconstitutional?” Yes: 10 No: 1
? Dave Appling: “Yes, in principle (not knowing the details). This is a win-win initiative. Restoring our crumbling infrastructure fills a vital U.S. economic need and creates stable, long-term, productive jobs for American workers. And $50 billion over six years is only about $25 per person per year.”
? Bert Berson: “Yes. Democrats have to stop fooling around and get it passed.”
? Chris Bryant: “Yes, our infrastructure is in sore need of this investment.”
? Bob Chidester: “Yes. As long as the money is spread out fairly among all 50 states, is properly accounted for, and is used for projects which benefit the general citizenry. No bridges to nowhere, etc.”
? David Cohen: “Yes. Not only will it create jobs quickly, it will repair, rebuild or replace infrastructure that in some cases is 80 years old.”
? Dennis Kennedy: “Yes! Although it may be only part of the solution, it is something that will help bring jobs and dollars into the economy.”
? Julian Mancias: “Yes. (1) The infrastructure needs it (2) It will stimulate more jobs.”
? Henry Miller: “Yes. His bank and auto industry bailouts seemed to work pretty darn well, despite the dire warnings of the nay sayers. Why not give this a try. A program designed to put people to work is hard to argue against.”
? Lisa Pampuch: “Yes. A strong infrastructure is vital to a vibrant economy, and this necessary spending will also create jobs.”
? Jeff Smith: “Not at all. More spending, more taxes, more debt. Does this president want to keep us in this recession forever? Will it create new jobs? No. It will just further employ his already-employed corrupt union cronies who got him into office, and he owes them favors.”
? Steve Staloch: “Yes, but it’s simply the same post Labor Day pandering we’ve seen over and over in election years: Float a ‘big picture’ idea voters will lap up – that you know has absolutely zero chance of winning any level of critically needed opposition support – then hit the campaign trail making impassioned speeches about how the ‘other party’ is recklessly obstructing job creation and economic recovery. The disingenuous fourth quarter tactic feeds demagoguery espoused by candidates of your party, but is hardly an example of visionary leadership. Different coach, same playbook.”
