I think the better plan is to spend money on our infrastructure.

Eisenhower's administration started the Interstate Highway system which was

designed to last 30 years. We are now beyond that time limit and should

start rebuilding. The highway system was an important boon to the U.S.

economy a we cannot let it deteriorate any longer.

The Highway Fund was set up as a separate account to pay for infrastructure

when the 30 years expired. It was to be funded by a gasoline tax.

Unfortunately it is being gutted by Congress. It is time to put the money

back in and provide long term jobs and benefits not give loans to bail out

the crooks.
