Ah, Boner is actually leading the US House today. It is comical to see him enter the House. There are servants holding both doors open for him. He must have a disability of weak arms. Golf isn't about building muscles. If he really wants to make cuts, the Speaker can start by relieving the House servants of door duties.

Well, that is unfortunate. Boner passed on the House duties to an underling. 

I didn't know Steven Spielberg was an eagle scout. 

Rep. Janice Hahn from California is making the point the current bill regarding infrastructure is insufficient and provides absolutely no long term assurances. I don't know any significant infrastructure project that can be funded year by year. That is not good governance by the Republican majority. It costs more to find an infrastructure project from year to year. It's nonsense. Whatever happened to the Infrastructure Bank that President Obama had in his jobs bill? 

President Barack Obama backed the " National Infrastructure Reinvestment Bank" first proposed by former Senators Dodd and Hagel. President Obama brought his support to the proposed legislation in February 2008 and repeated his call in September 2010.

This is what killed the bill.

President Obama wanted $60 billion of federal funding for investment in the country for ten years. It didn't matter to Republicans this would bring the private sector to assist in the funding of the projects approved by this bank.

Isn't China now providing an infrastructure bank that President Obama is opposed to? 

Yeah, China has one.

So, all the US allies are investing in China, but, don't really have the chance to do it in the USA.

Let's just say this fact brings even more objection to the trade agreements. You'll excuse me, but, how are cities and towns suppose to build infrastruture to provide services to an expanding economy. The trade agreements are never going to develop markets or jobs in the USA because the states, cities and towns do not have BUDGETS that accommodate the expense of an expanding economy.

We are witnessing the police administrator in Milwaukee County filing lawsuits against the State to provide more police and sheriff officers. Police are infrastructure as are their cars and stations and software, etc. The USA can't compete successfully, so the trade agreements cannot be entertained as a potential to new jobs and an expanding economy. It can't be done.

The reason everyone points to China as the power that will dictate the trade environment in the Pacific is because the USA doesn't have the ability to do it. A signed agreement does not mean the USA will actually be able to move forward with necessary infrastructure to accommodate a growing economy. That is HOW the USA people end up working for poverty wages. There are no jobs other than the service economy. 

Hello? 

The Republicans are ruining the country. The more impoverished the country the less taxes paid, upward movement is sacrificed. So, the Republicans throw money into the military and nowhere else because the USA has only one purpose in the world besides poverty level labor and that is being the world's police. 

President Obama knows what he is doing in leading the country into the future. The Republicans are writing the country off because they are morons, too. That is what the Republicans believe of Americans. The Republicans think we are morons. We can't improve our own circumstances. They know there will be no manufacturing except in China.

Then there is the exception to the moron crowd in the Republicans such as Joe Wilson.

Rep. Joe Wilson is an amazing orator. He is able to bring Iran and Daesh under one umbrella. Well, there are a few seconds of paranoia for the next Koch Brother's ad campaign.

Joe Wilson is seeking to build fear in the USA to build 'the spirit' of war in the people. "Kill, kill, kill." Joe Wilson delivers the USA to it's only real purpose.

I have other things to do beside listening to morons that are incapable of governing.
