Moral courage

As the bridge collapse in the state of Washington yesterday showed, the state of our infrastructure is abysmal.  Couple that with our still too high unemployment rate, and you have the perfect recipe for killing two birds with one stone:  fix our roads, bridges, and schools, and put lots of Americans back to work.  It's too bad we don't have a blueprint for...what's that?  We do? 

It was called the Works Progress Administration (WPA), set up during the FDR administration.  The WPA put over 8 million Americans to work during its eight year run and helped keep many unskilled laborers and their families in a house and food.

Unfortunately, what we don't have is a President who has the moral courage to fight for what's right and not for appeasing the republican party.  I've given up trying to figure out what President Obama wants his legacy to be, but you can be sure it's going to be a whole hell of a lot less impressive than is FDR's.

And he has no one but himself to blame for it.
