My guess is the height is the same no matter whether it comes in the form of the bailout money Bush proposed - remember the one with zero controls - or in the form of spending to improve the infrastructure. I also guess you wouldn’t know either if you hadn’t read it in some article. And what the hell does it matter how thick a dollar bill is?
Pretty sure Bush couldn't calculate it either. But probably thought the answer could be stated in Brazilians
Where were you when Bush was cutting taxes and increasing spending? Maybe Republicans have no sense of money either?

And no, its not current news because almost every highway construction project I have seen for years now has a big signs touting the governor, etc who was in when it was approved.

Today there is a big sign in Woodinville telling us the name of every city councilman who was in when they decided to fund the project. Old news, totally irrelevant.

If you want to see another example of neither party having any fiscal sense look to the deficit reduction panel proposed by Obama and fought by a handful of Republicans.

Take off the blinders neither party has any sense of fiscal responsibility.
