BCT Editorial – 9/30/09

Falling apart; Editorial; Beaver County Times; September 30, 2009.

Since this is letter little more than a regurgitation of “Failing grade” and similar previous editorials, please read my critique of “Failing grade” for my comments.

Oh, I do have another comment.  The editorial says we “have neither the will nor the wallet to address these problems.”  What about the $787 billion so-called “stimulus” bill?  I thought that all went to “shovel-ready” infrastructure projects.  According to a speech he made during a fundraiser on 10/1/09, President Obama said, “And we're putting Americans back to work doing the work that America needs done:  rebuilding roads and bridges and new schools, and all manner of construction projects across all 50 states.  It's the largest single investment of infrastructure in this country since Eisenhower built the Interstate Highway System back in the 1950s.”  Is the Times implying Mr. Obama isn’t telling the truth?
