Highway Trust Fund money wasted on scenic beautification instead of the highways and bridges. Solution? Dems want bailout.
Looks like the government is wasting money in the Highway Trust Funds for scenic beautificaton instead of the actual roads.
Two Republican senators are accusing the federal government of misusing $78 billion in Highway Trust Funds on scenic beautification and other low-priority projects rather than committing money to essential programs to restore major highways and bridges.
Sens. John McCain of Arizona and Tom Coburn of Oklahoma say the Government Accounting Office report released Thursday shows that the nearly bankrupt fund wasted billions over the past five years when it should have been using money earned by the federal fuel tax to maintain the nation’s highways and bridges. — FoxNews
And now the Dems want to bail out this bunch of retards.
Anyone remember when the liberals were blaming the Republicans for road and bridge repair? Olbermann blamed the war for taking the money away. And Daily Kos claimed, as always, it was Darth Bush.
Well, its good to see that when the truth comes out that the Dems are quick to jump in and take responsibilty for their mistakes and work hard to fix it so it won’t happen again, right? Right? Hello, is anyone there?
