The financial costs of the war in Iraq are at a trillion dollars and climbing. Yet here at home there is not enough money to keep up with our aging infrastructure of transportation, bridges and roads. This situation can only get worse with the continued waste of our national treasures being squandered in a wrong, unnecessary and misguided war.
My thoughts and prayers are with those who were injured and with the families and friends of those who lost their lives in the Minneapolis bridge collapse. But I ask, how many more bridges will have to fall before we in this country start getting our priorities right? In my own State of Maryland there are 406 structurally deficient and 997 functionally obsolete bridges (including our infamous double span Bay Bridges source: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20093413/ ). A trillion dollars could have fixed a lot of bridges and maybe saved some lives. And as for those Bush Administration tax cuts for the rich - well as the roads crumble and the bridges fall they get to laugh all the way to the bank.

can you and all the liberals and far-left stop blaming President Bush for all your miserable lives you all have?
I am just tired to hear the same
Bush, Bush, Bush
what else is next to blame the man for?
I am proud to say that I am an immigrant...I support Mr Bush respect him because he is the president...I support the war, I show the American Flag with honor and pride!

I am quite confident, that at the end of the day, history will find George Bush to be the worst president that the United States has ever had.
Mr.Padilla, It is a long American tradition to speak out against corrupt, dishonest, and unscrupulous leadership. Our country was founded on such sentiments. The one who shows disrespect to the Office of the President is the one who now abuses the powers inherent in that office.It is your choice to support the war in Iraq, we disagree on that. I consider it not only patriotic but my duty as an American (and a flag waving one at that) to speak out against the deceit and abuses of power perpetrated by the current administration. Bush had the duty to do right by the American people. I fail to see where he has done that.
