I honestly think one of the problems these days is that people can't see beyond their own noses. People need simplistic George W. Bush type answers, not real long term solutions. |
How much of that money do you think is actually going to go to fixing potholes though? I guarantee most of the money will go to construction workers working on some new great idea that ends up failing massively because of poor planning.
