The United States produces about 25% of its oil. We import the other 75%. However, in the provisional Obama Stimulus plan, spending on roads and bridges is at 75% and spending on rail is at 25% of a total transport-spend of 40 billion. Proposing to spend only 1.2% of the total 825 billion dollar package on rail is almost comical. In truth, it’s tragicomical.
If you begin your administration with fundamental policy problems such as this from the outset, then you're on track towards wishing that eight years from now you might be as popular as George W. Bush is now. This is not the change we need, want, or have any use for.
