[quote=Anonymous]How quickly people forget - or have somehow managed to have information scrambled up or blanked out of their minds altogether by partisan media.  At the beginning of Obama's term, he asked for spending on infrastructure, and Congress appropriated hundreds of billions of dollars, which went toward over 250,000 successfully completed infrastructure projects around the country, from roads and bridges, to sewer treatment plants, and so on.  It was called ARRA and it had a degree of transparency and accountability UNPRECEDENTED in American history -> http://www.recovery.gov/Pages/default.aspx

But, much more is needed.  Just check the American Society of Civil Engineers Scorecard - it improved a bit with ARRA but much more still needs to be done.  Congress needs to end its perverse obsession with Grover Norquist, it needs to get its head wrapped around proper national priorities (instead of idiocy like "Defense of Marriage Act" and "waste a 53rd vote trying to repeal ACA") and instead start taking care of America and the infrastructure needs of the whole of the American people, not just of the wealthiest few.[/quote]
