Highway Bill Hullabaloo

Back atcha Friday morning with the dish on the big highways and transportation bill - planes, trains and automobiles.

Could this large "public works" bill (filled with pork for all 50 states) be the very first bill President Bush might veto?

Mr. Bush says $195 billion is about $15 billion too much to spend "during a time of war," so he'll quibble over that and ask for $500 billion EVERY YEAR (!!!) for his specious war on terror, in which he fights fire with fire? (I mean terror with terror, pardon me.)




In the meantime, please see more on somewhat related car topics and "treading lightly" (as opposed to treading under Cheney's thumb - or hell) below.
