Another moron thread. How long has Obama been in office? How long did Reid rule the Senate? And somehow it's the GOP's fault. Do any of you on the left actually think?
Do you really think the GOP would have allowed taxes to be raised dramatically to pay for improvements in the US infrastructure as the OP suggested? Hell no! Don't be obtuse. The only gov't spending the current GOP has any interest in is defense.
Someday some Republican politician's wife or kid will get killed on a collapsed bridge and maybe then the GOP will wake up and remember what it takes to maintain a country.
This place has become boring with all these rehashed threads.
It has, but there's an election brewing and the left needs to frame it anyway they can. Blaming the GOP for the crash is a cheap and sloppy way to try to push the Democrat's meme that Republicans are cruel, heartless, blah blah blah.
They also use it to cover the failure of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, a classic Democratic boondoggle.
Just think of the Trillions of $$ that Democrats have spent just on Obamacare that could have gone to Infrastructure.
That Obamacare money could have built a lot of bridges and created a lot of jobs.
And they're fighting so much drug-induced akathisia from Obamacare for failed dates and disappointments and owies and blahs, that their jobs are being given to iatrogenically undisabled Mexicans and Indians and Chinese.
The Pubs hate spending taxpayer dollars on anything that benefits the public. The thing is, they've gotten their low-info followers to buy into that silly agenda.
Sorry but Pubs love to create jobs which benefits the lower and middle class worker. It's the Crats who blow Trillions on useless Govt programs that benefit very few.

Wtf are you talking about? The Democrats did raise taxes...where are all the Amtrak and infrastructure fixes? Seriously, you people just don't think.

The US Treasury / IRS has collected record amounts of Income so far in 2015. It's not raising taxes that the problem, it's the reckless spending by both parties.
Taxing and Income is not the problem. Democrats are certainly not exempt from the Trillions wasted yearly.
OP's argument to blame Republicans is a pure Half Truth.
Like all leftist Repubs./Rockefeller Repubs. (aka neocons) the Bushes are big taxing, "voodoo economics"-deriding (and if you agree w/ the sentiment you'll only prove the point), population reduction advocates--like their aggressive, militant, fist-raising, urban camo attire wearing, Libya- and Syria-bellicose progressive leftist brethren and sistren who love Big Goverment police- and surveillance-state that keeps tabs on compliance with leftist social engineering endeavors and who don't care at all about federalization and TSA in their NYC subway system.
