[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 372035, member: 2189"] Quick, someone call Master Yoda and Obie-Wan before little Anni here goes over to the Dark Side! :wink2: Brett, Thanks for the link and I understand the frustration. I did notice one litle sentence in the article that caught my attention however. I highlighted one section for effect. Now in this day and age of Gov't by Lobby, what exactly was this prod? I know there are issues with our infastructure, our own State did an audit of bridges and the results identified many issues but these bridges were also on State and local roads so not under direct jurisdiciton of the "Highway Trust Fund" in which the federal tax goes. Our State has a State gas tax piggybacked BTW but you can bet our senators and congressman will be spreading the gov't cheese thick as they need to if this issue comes up in their campaigns. Was the lobby concern over the conditions of our infastructure or was the real concern over the earnings per share and the threat of lost jobs was just a cover? The whole Merchantile State is so corrupt to it's core you just have to be this completely cynical these days and in all honesty, that's sad and it's really sad for us and our children and grandchildren. On another cynical note (I know, I can't help myself) I also read this. Is this a signal of bi-partisanship? Is there hope that the problem is so obvious that both sides agree? If you believe that, then read this. Well it does mean bi-partisanship but seems both Obama and Bush are on the same page on this one. The Truth? My bet is that in both the McCain and Clinton campaigns they heard or picked up on something Obama said in regards to this issue that he either was committed to his position or held something that locked him in. In this day of political trickery, both Clinton and McCain were free to take the opposite side first off knowing this plan was not going anywhere but also understanding the freebie it would get them with voters in light of high gas prices. It was all about what I call "No Cost Politics" and thesse guys play this game all the time. Did you not ever wonder why the politicians promise you the Sun, the Stars and the Moon during campaign season but once in office you never, ever get what was promised? In the view of PT Barum, we're all just a bunch of suckers! [/QUOTE]
