Insanity
Insanity, they say, is doing the same thing over and over again while expecting a different result. I think that the comments made yesterday by Presidential candidate (and former New Mexico Governor) Bill Richardson definitely fall into that category. You would think a former Governor would know better than to say something like this, especially so close to the city that finally made bridge repair"sexy".
It is thinking like that Governor Richardson that got Minnesota into big bridge trouble in the first place. Instead of repairing our decaying roads and bridges we have been build bicycle paths and hiking trail extensions, bridges to "nowhere" in Alaska and clean air initiatives in California and parkspace from sea to shining sea.
No Governor....we are finally rightly fixated on highways and bridges. It is sad to see that some politicians (including ones in this state) still would rather play politics than do what is right for the people of this country!
The United States' transportation system is "fixated on highways" and should
include more emphasis on energy-efficient modes of travel with planning to
ensure preservation of open spaces, New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson said
Tuesday.

We've come a long ways from the days of John F. Kennedy. Today's liberal politician. They don't see America as it is and ask why. They see America as THEY WANT it to be and ask why not. The reason, of course, is that that it isn't possible or desirable, except in their fevered visions of Utopia. These people are dangerous.
