Why Infrastructure Matters

The Minneapolis-St. Paul Star Tribune reminds us all about the 35W bridge disaster. We need to ask how many others are out there just waiting... and when we are going to put Americans to work to do something about it.

Why Pulling The Omnibus Bill Was A Disaster

Dec 17th, 2010

By F. Grey Parker

In my final post yesterday, I stated bluntly that Sen. Harry Reid's (D-NV) sudden surrender on the omnibus spending bill was a "disaster." To me, this statement was as simple as saying the world is round, the Sun rises in the East and the only sure things are death and taxes. I took it to be a truism. There was more than a little disagreement over this. I was surprised at the number of contrarian e-mails that awaited me this morning. Some of the commentary so strongly opposed my position, including that of arguably my most devoted reader, that it is necessary to plead my case in some detail.
