This is Bush "ignoring infrastructure"
When liberals had their brains wiped prior to accepting the Messiah 2.0 program they apparently removed all memories of this little whopper of a spending bill:
WASHINGTON - President Bush signed a whopping $286.4 billion transportation bill that lawmakers stuffed with plenty of cash for some 6,000 pet projects back home.
Despite a major thunderstorm around his home in Crawford, Texas, Bush flew Wednesday to Montgomery, Ill., to sign the legislation, the second time this week he has traveled from his ranch to highlight his recently-passed priorities.
"I'm here to sign the highway bill because I believe by signing this bill, when it's fully implemented, there's going to be more demand for the machines you make here," Bush told workers at the Caterpillar plant where he penned his name to the bill. The facility makes heavy-duty machinery used in road-building and most other construction.
Bush spoke about the 1,000-page bill under a bright sun at the plant where a crane sported a sign saying "Improving Highway Safety for America." The Chicago suburb is represented by House Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-Ill., who introduced Bush at the event.
"Our economy depends on us having the most efficient, reliable transportation system in the world. If we want people working in America, we've got to make sure our highways and roads are modern. We've got to bring up this transportation system into the 21st century," Bush said.
So obviously this means that Bush "ignored" infrastructure.
Now the pressing questions are: how many jobs did this bill create and where did they go?
