"Build infrastructure" 2-5 years after the environmental studies - no help

Mass transportation system is a joke, most people do use mass transit. I see 10 - 12 buses on my way to work with maybe 4 people in them. What does that cost?

Inability to pay for higher education, loans, grants and long term saving. That’s how I paid for mine.

Tax rebates for people that do not need them, everyone needs tax breaks, the government is spending too much on "wishes it could be this way ideas" Less money in the government’s hands means more in the economy.

I would prefer that they do nothing.

The stimulus package the U.S. Congress is completing would raise the government’s commitment to solving the financial crisis to $9.7 trillion, enough to pay off more than 90 percent of the nation’s home mortgages.

Please write "Build infrastructure" 1,000 times on the chalkboard please. People need jobs, the country's mass transportation system is almost that of a third world country and no one is getting much smarter with the inability to pay for higher education and we still need tax rebates for people that do not need them, cut me a break.
