#1 What about drilling for oil? (Did I say that out loud?)

What about spending less money on roads in metropolitan areas and spending more on mass transit? You would think the green weenies in Washington would be all over mass transit it would make us more like...Europe and all of those wonderful countries in Europe where they speak foreign languages and stuff like that.

#2 Plenty of taxes already collected for good roads.

Yeah, but it is already spend on "Winning the Future" and other pet progressive projects.

#6 "The Obama administration has called for a six-year, $556 billion transportation bill to create jobs and spur the economy."

This $556 billion figure was funded by a magic asterisk. The Sec of Transportation has never said where the $$ would come from.

#8 Get marshmallows if they are on fire.

Are you kidding - do you know what kind of toxins a burning politician puts out?

Best to dump gasoline on them so they burn hot enough to burn clean.
