President Obama called today for spending to improve the nation's transportation infrastructure. This is another example of Obama's big government thinking. He doesn't understand what most Americans instinctively do: roads are socialism.
In real America, if you want to get from point A to point B you either hack your way through the brush using good old-fashioned hard work or you build a private road and charge other people to drive on it. If you can't afford the private road option then it's brush hacking for you. It's called independence. And freedom.
The President made his push for renewed infrastructure spending in an outdoor speech in front of a dilapidated bridge. Obama said many bridges are in dire need of repair or replacement and he wants me to pay for it. You know what I say to that?: Bridges are socialism.
In a free country if you want to cross a river you do something we used to call "swimming." That is, before the country got too lazy for that kind of effort. Now people just drive over bridges and think nothing of it. And why should they? Most of them are freeloaders, crossing raging rivers for free on the hard work of us freedom lovers.
And as usual, President Obama is circumventing the will of the people and just making some of his socialism happen by dictatorial decree. Here's an example:
"We're releasing a new plan for 11 more projects to accelerate from Boston South Station to Pensacola Bay Bridge, to new light rail projects north and south of Seattle," he said, adding that his order would cut "bureaucratic red tape that stalls good projects from breaking ground."
That's right, there he goes again with his light rail projects. All this guy knows how to do is spend my money on trains. And you know what? Trains are socialism. Hell, trains are communist! We know they're communist because the Chinese love 'em.
And think about it: when you drive a car you're by yourself. An independent freedom loving American! But when you take the train you're surrounded by sweaty characters of questionable heritage. It's obvious socialism and not at all surprising someone like Obama would be all for it. Wake up America!
Also, Benghazi!
