If only he'll be on the bridge when it collapses


Speaker of the House John Boehner moronically actually said this:
 "Everybody believes we have infrastructure deficiencies and more needs to be spent to repair, replace and in some cases build new infrastructure," Boehner said in a speech. "The problem is nobody wants to pay for it."  Link
Completely and utterly wrong. The Senate is currently debating a Democratically sponsored infrastructure bill that's completely paid for by a small tax increase on the richest Americans, something a majority of even Republicans support.  Americans realize that our infrastructure needs to be maintained and that it's cost efficient to do so.

The only people who don't want to pay for infrastructure are Congressional Republicans who want to blame the crumbling bridges, roads and schools on the President.
