It seems to me that this would be a better investment
than the $500 Billion spent in Iraq.

so Let me get this straight- our infrastructure is crumbling and we are purposefully destroying other infrastructures with out having funds to repair our own?

Fine, as long as we pay for it by cutting some social spending somewhere else.

Our infrastructures in this country should have been fixed 30 years ago.Pork barrel spending has attributed to the lack of funding not the invasion of Iraq.as Sen.Dodd states.Sen.Hagel is correct that we have great people in this country.It's too bad those great people aren't the ones running the country.The snobby rich people are in office and they just plain old don't give a hoot about Americans well being and safety!

Also, after the tragedy on last Wednesday the debate began in the Congress. Everyone postured about how badly they felt and then one Congressman told it like it is. We had an excess in trillions of dollars for our infrastructure, and even excess in our back-up emergency fund. Today, we'll be lucky to raise $100 million dollars to help these people. Fact is, we don't have any money left for our infrastructure and whatever amount we agree to is just an agreement with no funding.
