You do understand what 'shovel ready' means, do you not?
YES. It means jobs like you are presently yammering about, with regard to infrastructure. These jobs do not exist. We know they don't exist because Obama couldn't find them. If they had existed, Obama would have found them, given them some money, and had his picture made doing it. But he couldn't find any, so he had to admit these jobs didn't exist.
No roads, bridges etc... need to be built/repaired? Seriously, you are quite fucking retarded.
See, here's your prob... you can't fucking read. I did not say that no roads or bridges need repair. Go back and read what I posted again, and see if you clarify what was said again. Whenever my county or state road needs work, my county or state government swings into action, my elected representatives either appropriate money or levy a tax to come up with the money, and they repair the road, or build new roads, bridges too! Sometimes, they might ask the federal government for some help with a project, but NEVER does the federal government go tell a county or state where and when to build or repair a road or bridge, that is MY responsibility, as they are MY representatives.
So again, you point to a failed idea and use it to proclaim that since one idea failed that no others can be tried? Damn ditzie... you just can't help but spout nonsense.
No, I am pointing at a moronic idiot who thinks he is a 'moderate', yammering nonsense about a tried and failed cockamamie liberal idea. So far, I am
PWNING his ass, because all he can seem to do is misconstrue things that have been said, and hurl insults, as he continues to stubbornly spew liberalism from every orifice.
As I have stated many times. The technology exists today to convert from gasoline based engines to nat gas.
As I have stated many times, that is an EXCELLENT idea.... for the PRIVATE SECTOR!
The thing that does not exist is the distribution infrastructure. That is where the government can help to create jobs while at the same time reduce our dependency on foreign oil. Part of that initiative would include drilling our own resources. I know you are a fucking idiot and will likely rant on about some nuance or another, but do try to at least think about this for a minute.
I actually agree that the Federal government does have a role here and can help. I disagree on the method. Here's how the Feds could help 'convert' us to NG... Announce that by 2018, all government vehicles will be NG! That's 6 years to phase out current fleets of gasoline-powered vehicles, and replace them with NG. By this one action, the Feds would cause the major manufacturers of gov't vehicles, to develop an entire line of NG vehicles, which would be made available to the general public. Fuel suppliers, also wanting to benefit from gov't business, would start implementing distribution plans, and we'd start seeing NG fueling stations pop up all over the country. By the time we get to 2018, the consumer public would be catching on, and the rest is history.
Now, MY plan, doesn't really involve some massive government fortune being doled out to bureaucrats, or siphoned off by crooked politicians and their crooked contributors. It's basically money we are already going to be spending when we update the gov't fleets. Unlike your FAILED idea, which created entities like SOLYNDRA, my idea might actually WORK!
Moron... the projects exist, they just weren't ready to implement right away... so Obama spent the money elsewhere in a vain attempt to be seen 'doing something'.
LMAO... So the projects exist, they just weren't ready to be implemented? Why not? Were people busy doing other things, like checking to see if their unemployment check had arrived? I don't get it! You are telling us that the government needs to fund these projects, but then you tell us the projects are not ready to be implemented yet! It's pretty fucking pathetic when you are literally throwing money down a rat hole, and the rats are throwing it back at you, telling you they aren't ready for it yet! LMFAOOOoooooo! You're too much, SF!!
Dear ditzie... no one ever stated that the Fed should be in charge of every project. But there are plenty of interstate highways, dams, levees, bridges throughout the country that do meet the need for Fed involvement.
Well there might be, I don't know how many there are.... but wouldn't it be a much better plan to have the state and locals come ask feds for the money when they need it, rather than trying a backwards approach of federally funding mythical projects that don't exist? It is NOT the Federal government's business to decide where a damn needs to be built. This is done by state and local officials, who are elected by the people of the state, not federal officials who are elected by other states.
Dear ditzie... no one suggested we build things that were not necessary. That is simply more of your stupidity. Please try and limit your posts to two stupid comments. Putting 30 in one post makes it very hard to read.
No, that's EXACTLY what you are suggesting we do! AFTER Obama has already done it, and FAILED at it!
