After all, didn't a great Republican tell us, "What's mine is mine, and so is everything I can screw you out of?" They don't want to hear about working toward any common benefit, or building for the future. It's all about what they get for themselves--right now.

And with what money will Obama be paying for all this new construction? The US Government is beyond broke. How long until our national credit card is revoked?
If Obama does what he has promised and taxes the rich capitalists to pay for this new construction, just who will invest in new business needed to utilize all this wonderful infrastructure? Who will invest capital when capital gains are so heavily taxed? Who will generate the money to pay off all our debts?
It's like the gambler telling himself "Just one more hand, and I will win back all I have lost. Just one more hand..."
a delusion, self-destructive plan, at best.
