When the Federal government builds bridges/etc to nowhere, you call that infrastructure investment?OH THE HORROR PLEASE NOT INFRASTRUCTURE AND EDUCATION INVESTMENTS!!!
...
Absolutely, I'd never vote for her! Why does this have to be so party based? I'm only discussing this based on political philosophy.So don't vote for Sarah Palin? Isn't she the Tea party sweetheart? Or did she get replaced by "crazy-eyes" Bachman (I'm taking bets on how long it takes for her to explode and shower us with intestines Palin style...)?
Oh, sure, but you presented an episode perpetuated by Sarah Palin (the "bridge to nowhere") as an example of why infrastructure investment is bad...
No, I'm saying it's a singular episode brought upon by an extraordinary individual that should not be used to gauge neither the national use of "infrastructure" funds, nor the need for infrastructure investments.
I know the bridge near my house recently lapsed its expected lifetime. While it's holding up pretty well, I cannot help but wonder what will happen in 10 years. Oh, and that bridge is the Tappan Zee Bridge, one of the nation's busiest toll bridges (being just north of NYC has its demand...).

I thought the GOP debates tonight were extremely disappointing. I really can't find a candidate I can stand behind. Ron Paul is absolutely spot on on many, many things, but completely off on others in my opinion, gold standard, destroying our defense.
As dangerous as the Fed is potentially, I think the source of it is deficit spending, and Ben Bernanke's incompetence. This is a poor time to be experimenting with "Quantitative Easing"/Money Printing. But we certainly need the Fed to stabilize inflation, contrary to the business cycle which Bernanke seems to be interested in. The gold standard, while nice that it keeps incompetence out, leaves the door wide open to unexpected inflation if say a huge gold deposit is found. Keep in mind this could happen at anytime, also dangerous but now less predictable and controllable.
He doesn't want to destroy our defense, he wants to destroy our bank-breaking offense and nation-building foreign policy.

If you don't follow the constitution = you're not an american.
if you don't love freedom (economic and personal) = you're not an american.
So most Americans (and all American politicians with the possible exception or Ron Paul) are not American?
You're not an American. You've likely never visited, and if you ever did it was for a very short time. What gives you the right to call an actual American (me) not an American? The gall some people have...
Because he's hypocritical and just another politician trying to get somewhere with a suddenly-hip "don't tell us what to do" agenda that resonates well with rebellious teenagers and college kids?
Because he wants to run the country based off of tenets made in the 1700s with no update for modern times?
Because he is against tariffs and taxes and plans on paying only his own salary in the government?
Because he doesn't acknowledge that sometimes you have to make people/corporations do things they may not want to do, and this is the basis of civilization and what sets us apart from apes.
I remember becoming an American. Nowhere did anyone make me pledge or say anything even remotely resembling or that can in any way be interpreted as "you must endorse Ron Paul and his ideas or leave". Sorry.
