This so called champion of the middle class tax relief is in the town of the greatest deep dish pizza in the world....well we'll be in deep with this dish. OH, bye the way bush. if youre reading this... arent you itching to ruin alaskas pristine wilderness so you and dicky boy can make more billions for your buds at halliburton? one hand washes the other...DICK CHENEY should be indicted for conflict of interest. Bush should be impeached on any number of illigal actions. Have a nice day cons.

Work on your title noob. For instance, Bush is also claiming his tax cuts are responsible for the growing economy. Based on his logic, continued tax cuts and porkified spending bills are a prescription for prosperity.

I would act fast. It's only a matter of time before someone starts a thread about the Highway Robbery Bill that's properly described.😉

Not to mention war.

With fanfare, Bush signed the more than 1,000-page highway bill into law even though it was more costly than he preferred. It includes cash to bankroll some 6,000 pet projects for lawmakers in their home districts.

The setting for Bush's bill-signing ceremony and speech was a plant operated by Caterpillar Inc., which makes road-building equipment. For the president, it was his second trip away from his Texas ranch this week to highlight recently passed legislation.

[...]

Alaska, the third-least populated state, for instance, got the fourth most money for special projects ? $941 million ? thanks largely to the work of its lone representative, House Transportation Committee Chairman Don Young. That included $231 million for a bridge near Anchorage to be named "Don Young's Way" in honor of the Republican.

[...]

But Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., one of four senators who opposed the bill, said the estimated $24 billion lawmakers directed to special projects was "egregious." He has cited dozens of what he calls "interesting" projects. His favorite: $2.3 million for landscaping along the Ronald Reagan Freeway in California.

If Alaska is getting $1billion including 1/4billion to build a bridge named after a Republican, then Louisville damn well better get some federal funding for the MUCH-NEEDED bridges across the Ohio River here.

That's something our Republican Congresswoman (who's on the Appropriations Committee) has been working hard on accomplishing.
