But I guess they were off by 50 billion........
Vowing to find new ways to stimulate the sputtering economy, President Barack Obama will call for long-term investments in the nation's roads, railways and runways that would cost at least $50 billion.
The infrastructure investments are one part of a package of targeted proposals the White House is expected to announce in hopes of jump-starting the economy ahead of the November election. Obama will outline the infrastructure proposal Monday at a Labor Day event in Milwaukee.
While the proposal calls for investments over six years, the White House said spending would be front-loaded with an initial $50 billion to help create jobs in the near future.
The goals of the infrastructure plan include: rebuilding 150,000 miles of roads; constructing and maintaining 4,000 miles of railways, enough to go coast-to-coast; and rehabilitating or reconstructing 150 miles of airport runways, while also installing a new air navigation system designed to reduce travel times and delays.
Just one question for Obama and Co. Where the hell was the funding for all this shit 2 years ago?

Every day I use I-75 south. And every day I hit the same buckling that stretches across all the lanes. Its basically a speed bump that you hit going 60 Tens of thousands of cars hit that same spot. God only knows how much wear and tear adds up on people's vehicles. This is what any stimulus should go to, not steetcars to nowhere.
