Get russia mad enough to come and bomb us,,, I bet they will then supply us with billions$$$$ to rebuild afterwards.

get that billion that Bush just sent to Georgia back.

the highway fund is empty because your buddies in congress plucked the money out of it just like they plucked social security dry! if you wise up you'll vote eveery one of the 8 balls out of office in nov and start fresh! no need to cite a party - the pluckers are rep/dem
ind!!!!

The seat belt and red light fines (for the children) in should cover this.

I wonder if Bush has figured out it didn't go to 'that state next to where Jeb used to be guvner'?

To the politicos of this great United States, your constituents are tired of you wasting our hard earned dollars on BS. I suggest you spend our tax dollars smartly and in this country rather than on lost causes and regime changes. It's the rebuilding dollars going out that get me, has anybody looked at the state of our countries infrastructure lately? It is falling apart so if my tax dollars are going to be spent on rebuilding any country it should be spent on rebuilding the one I live in. The world has played the USA for fools for longer than I have been alive. It is time for the United States to quit being the worlds chump.

Bing! You hit the nail on the head here.

The DemPublicans (DEMocrats+rePUBLICANS) are working overtime at destroying the country.

Try breaking a traffic law on Route 175 in front of Ft. Meade or on site at any military base. The Military Police will give you a summons to appear in Federal Court.

Not that traffic fines from local or federal tickets go to the highway trust fund.

Course not. The highway doesn't have hands it can hold out.(Palm up, of course).

You mean I can actually get a Federal citation on a state highway? That's just wrong!

Maybe if we fire everyone in Washington and start over we might be able to figure out how congressional earmarks end up using money meant for maintaining our roads. Both sides of the isle are to blame but just transferring money from the general fund is not the solution. Reforming congress may be.

Yep, I had one ten years ago.
