There is talk of a $50 billion measure that would be used to fund transportation projects throughout the country.
But Obama and liberals in Congress have an agenda — and it does not necessarily include what most Americans want. In addition to highway and bridge repairs, Obama wants the money for new rail lines, airport improvements and new highways.
Clearly, he wants to spend the money in ways calculated to win him votes in 2012.
Congress should reject the bill. If $50 billion is available, it should be handed out to states with no strings attached — to make needed improvements, not just to advance the popularity of Obama and liberal lawmakers.

Stop try to rewrite history, we leave that up to Fox news.
I do remember a time in American history when Big Government Socialist programs, aka "Stimulus" ruled the economic landscape for nearly a decade. It was called the Great Depression.
Barack Boo-Hoover Obama, mmm, mmm, mmm.
Could you see the Republicans using this money to further their tax cut agenda for the rich.
Can you see this money funneled to store front non-profit orginazation to be washed and directed to conservtive programs.
I beleive the We The People of the United States know better than The Yellow Banner and Where We Stand.
Obama's bill will lay the groundwork for high speed rail in this country. Something that is long overdue, and something that will not happen without federal leadership and guidance.
