YouTube Town Hall: Investing in American Infrastructure

[MsTrollingu]

Will somebody please take away freebie lifetime government healthcare for politicians so they will make a national healthcare system like Canada has for us, too?

Will somebody please take away the military's separate healthcare system and put it into our new National Healthcare System? How come military people cannot go to the same hospitals as we do?

[isponge4life]

I stopped watching once she mentioned teaching afgahnies how to think. Who does she think she is? You don't get to tell anyone how to think!

[gamingdolan360]

We cannot afford to throw away the gains our troops have gained? Are you kidding me?!

We have lost TWICE the number of lives in the Middle East, and TWELVE times the amount wounded in 10 years, than we have in the previous 100 due to Terrorist attacks!

It's our presence that keeps those numbers climbing, look it up. Osama wanted us their so he could kill us easier.

Bring our troops and economy home now!

Our troops lives are not RESOURCES for the Afgan people any more!

Die for your own country!

[BroyhillVideo]

@gamingdolan360 what are you talking about. the united states has suffered just a few thousand casualties in the middle east. We would loose that amount in a day in 'Nam.

[gamingdolan360]

@BroyhillVideo

'Nam wasn't a terrorist attack, it was a war. Read what I said again partner.

And one of my friends fought in 'Nam, this isn't news to me.

We lost more lives in one day in the Civil War than in 'Nam. What does it matter? It's history.

But we can prevent the loss of more lives by getting out of the Middle East, it has been and will be a helplessly torn, religious, war-zone forever.



[DabbsBiotch]

The government is the reason the economy is the way it is. how about we create more jobs and local SMALL business to help the people out instead of these bastards fill in their pockets with tax payers money!! If they can't help us anymore than this we shouldn't pay for taxes on every fucking thing. It's bullshit

[bullinaring]

Looking at your ratings, nobody gives a fuck about you, cunt.

[skyvilla]

Politicians are destroying this country. They talk to Americans as if they are children. Politicians work for the rich and do not give a damn about the average working class American.

[thetourettesguy1]

Dick

[1Death4All]

How about Ron Paul for America?

[angrygrenade80]

Sigh... Trolls...

[ewu253]

Go hump a llama. It'll help ur personal cause.

[KiaSoulDude]

[Oukita]

Why are you telling this to us, I thought you are supposed to do those things,?

[jimbojones091]

Wait somethings out of place here.....shes not making food??

[chaoticjuju7]

"FUCK THE MEDIA!!!"

[Jake4595]

go read a guide about pursuasive techniques and soon you will know that everything the politicians say is just an altered version of the truth that makes a bad thing sound even worse while making the other seem like an angelic action

[ehsaswigert]

Thee fact that so many politicians think Afghanistan is about money is not helping either. It's about democracy

[jonathanhumphries]

By the way. During my deployment I received my absentee ballot in feb. If anyone should have a secure vote it should be the people fighting to protect it not rich people in similar tax brackets to politicians that want to keep power.

[jonathanhumphries]

Obama hates vets cuz they obviously have balls and wont submit to him. Why would pentagon continuously release warnings to police dept. Saying to watch out for o I f and o e f vets cuz they may be recruited by militias (what is wrong with your states militia). Why do we need fema? Isn't that what the Nat. Guard is for?

[grizzledsoldier96]

@cheesewaffle1 lol you know china buys like 75-90% of their food from us? If they decide to own us we'll starve them. And I'm 15 too lol. I have a better understanding of politics than most people. It's sad.

[napkinboy96]

Y did people dislike this?

[justin1bieber1fun1]

Ha luv it jk

[PimpMatt0]

Bullshit

[TomKr00ze]

I agree with the first half

our infrastructure is shit right now

[AdamRodriguezGamez]

I go on youtube to watch everything but politics lol

[1Mastermind1990]

lol, of here's a solution, maybe stop outsourcing? Maybe stop cutting jobs and making people labor in a place of two people? Maybe we could better regulate minimum wage, housing costs and other costs. Invest in in a larger scale of agriculture here in America. But hey, fuck reason, we like to make life difficult!

[cheesewaffle1]

lets think about this for a sec. You want to spend MORE MONEY think hard about what situation your in at the moment. China is going to own us if we dont pay them back, the country will get repo'd. So no i dont like this.

btw im 15 lol

[t0mmorrow]

Seems like a reasonable answer to a reasonable question. Investing in things like infrastructure and education create American jobs and improve our nation's readiness and ability to compete.

[jackson15williams]

[manpildo]

I can see her eyes reading off the script... fuckin politicians

[Killbawl]

aneorexic if ur talking about games..? why r u advertising on this vid o.o

[DollreeMappEsq]

Explain to me why the federal government, located in Washington, D.C., is in a better position to manage infrastructure development than the states?

Your obsession with thinking you are more important and smarter than you really are is truly hurting the development of this country. Politics, especially infrastructure politics, should be inherently localized at the state or municipal level. Let the people that use the infrastructure decide how to build it!

[NuevaSpagnaRecords]

lol

[ALHAMLY2012]

هااااااي

[marcus3379]

Politicians have no soul, look at their cold dead mechanistic eyes.

[GodHatesCanada]

@marcus3379 So true

[namenderkrieg]

Invest in infrastructure? No, invest in stocks and bonds instead.

[2qewl4u]

I hope Ron Paul wins so he can stand up to Israhell.

[zccseve]

We absolutely need to invest in infrastructure; it will create jobs and make our lives safer. I, for one, would feel a lot safer driving over a bridge that has been inspected and all necessary repairs made before it collapses. There was a time when the federal government was not involved in people's lives; it was called the Gilded Age and people died of food poisoning, impurities in medication, defective automobiles and buildings. I don't want to go back to those days. No thanks, Ron Paul.

[lsl70]

High speed rail and government broadband are unnecessary. In fact that's just a way for them to control the internet. When she talks about airports she's probably talking about more TSA and other gestapo tactics. If we want to invest in infrastructure then lets just fix the crappy roadways that infest this nation and stop paying to building roads in other nations like Afghanistan for the oil companies. End the wars, end the foreign aid, end the police state, and end the crazy spending!

[medrn56]

lying democrat tea party rules

[aznerd999]

RON PAUL 2012. IF YOU'RE MAKING THIS VIDEO YOU'RE NOT FIXING THE NATIONS PROBLEMS!!!! WE DONT PAY YOU 200K PER YEAR FOR TALKING!

[lsl70]

@aznerd999 Yeah can you believe these globalist corporatist anti-Constitutional cronies steal six figures a year from us so they can in turn steal trillions?

[risethrought328]

I clicked on this because i thought that was the mom on that 70s show

[MrTheAni]

better broadband internet? fuck yeah.

[MrThemeParkAudios]

Ron Paul: the only politician speaking from the heart and not from a teleprompter

[DamazViccar]

Is there a cloning facility for these clowns somewhere?

[RhetoricGamingHD]

Flagged for promoting terrorism.

[oReanomationo]

Navy seals have an unlimted access to our Countries funds. They are not monitored and have a pretty much unlimited amount of money they can take. So where does any politician talk about that? Or how the inaguration of president in.office usually cost around 1 billion. Or a mill. Im not one hundred % sure but yea. Why dont we not waste our money on such things?

[fah369]

Why is Politics so important to us.Its like they want us to worship Politics.Look everywhere.It has ruined the whole world and now they wanna come here on Youtube and spread more hatred and discern among each other.Please leave us all alone.Leave the humans to peace.

[Cirving88]

@fah369 Politics exist because "Leaving humans to peace" hasn't worked on a global scale yet.

[I1KonArtis1I]

YOU BASTARDS KNOW WHY YOU ARE RAPING AFGHANISTAN! THEIR FREAKING RESOURCES YOU CROOKS!

[guzhomie07]

wtf?????

[PS360Million]

Ron Paul or die....I really have no idea what that means.

[NORTHMAN1234121]

@PS360Million look ron paul up and you will know

[46619TAB]

A scenario....

The teabaggers are able to ram a balanced budget Constitutional ammendment thru. Their Medicaid or other benefits are cut. A bridge they happen to be driving over collapses. Will they scream "we made a mistake with the ammendment" or will they say "such is life".

[qthegreat3]

what does Afghanistan have to do with transportation?

[grimm61111]

Funny it wouldnt let me post the post I wanted... it was gonna say LIAR!!!!

[grimm61111]

what a joke

[lukewilkilu]

One thing i learned over the years that I have lived in America is that Politicians=liars

[wargarurumon]

maybe you can actually start doing what you say and invest in america, instead of just buslhitting your way through office

[srengineer42]

Kay.. you are lost.. especially with all the deficit spending this nation has done over the last 3 years, now the money gone, spent, with zero to show for it.. your infrastructure spending plans, Light rail (LRT) projects, and government based economy are a complete and utter failure. So stop with your stupid talking points.. if you want to make a difference... Pass a balanced budget this year.. and make it a constitutional requirement.. otherwise don't waste the time on youtube!

[fluffyroks]

@themrklowb You have no right to be calling people morons if you continue to miss spell you're. You keep saying "your missing the point" and "your a moron". The correct spelling is you're! I suggest you stop insulting others; until you finish grade school that is.

[fluffyroks]

@themisterklowb You really don't know your proper grammar. I absolutely do care that if someone arguing the finer points is illiterate.. And you most certainly are! You continually spell you are as your, when the proper spelling is you're. I won't accept any point you try to make until you pass grade school.

[RandyMcDumpy]

When are you going to get the corporate money out of Washington? When are you going to quit being paid off by the super-rich and start serving the majority? When can we get away from the central banking system which only serves as a downward spiral for everyone but those at the top? When will our votes start counting again? AND, how long do you think you can keep shoving this BS down the peoples throats and expect them to swallow it??

[blackjedi47]

72 people actually dislike this..no, YT is just swarming with PAID GOP operatives and GOP paid for adverts.

[blackjedi47]

"Get these politics off YT."especially the stuff that makes sense and meets Americans needs. What we need to get off YT is ALL these GOP operatives and their dirty tricks operations, stinking up the place.

[th3gtr0]

Infrastructure spending is one of the best ways a country can give back to its citizens: economically, socially, and environmentally. I am definitely for high-speed rail in America!

[supersonicswag2011]

Fuck the building the middle east. They can handle themselves. Ron Paul has my vote.

[SaladofStones]

>How can you invest in something at doesn't exist.

[BansheeGun]

This Liberal will be unseated in 2014 so I don't really care what she has to say :P

[Landotter1]

What you believe and what you actually accomplish are two different things. All the things that need to be done, require revamping our whole economic system. Since the "powers that be" will not gain from such, nothing will get done. To "invest" in this is feutal because we will just watch as these corrupt companies steal all the money from the project and give us either nothing or worse than it was to begin with. Invest? just look at wall street. How much have we lost to banks and big companies?

[penciltest2]

@Landotter1 so just give up on the system and do nothing. that's your solution?

[Landotter1]

@penciltest2 I've long given up on the system. It is broken and there's nothing I can do about it. I have sat and watched my words absolutely come true for 12 years now so yeah, I have given up. I'm done with people thinking I'm crazy, not a patriot, bad attitude, negative, etc. Now, I just laugh and watch as my words have come true. Just proves all of the labels wrong, so I laugh. I will not invest only to watch it get stolen again. I lost it all during the last recession. Fool, me once....

[VinzZissou78]

Oh America, you're so screwed! :P

[bodybuilder444444]

Investing is just a FANCY word for SPENDING> CUT IT OUT! RON PAUL 2012!!!!

[TheMrKlowb]

@bodybuilder444444 its only fancy if your a moron...like you.

[Sublime570]

@TheMrKlowb You're*

[bodybuilder444444]

@TheMrKlowb yup you're right... woops sorry, GOSH YOU"RE SO SMART! It says right here in the Constitution of the United States that the Federal Government is mandated to build schools in foreign countries, funded by American taxpayers. You know... you're onto something! You should be a damn Constitutional scholar!

[TheMrKlowb]

@bodybuilder444444 Your missing the point. None of that is what we were talking about. I'm talking about you calling "investing" a fancy word. and it would be, if you were 12.

[bodybuilder444444]

@TheMrKlowb Hmmm no your missing the point, your talking semantics, a lovely game politicians love to play to avoid the real point, which is what I was talking about: STOP SPENDING. Politicans call it "investing" to make it sound more appealing to people. Sort of sounds like you fall for the bait yourself....

[penciltest2]

@bodybuilder444444 Stop spending all together? You're fighting for the crumbs that are left when you don't go after taxing the millionaires and billionaires. Stop looking down and hating the people who you think are beneath you and deserve nothing and look up at the people collecting the money and not giving back to the country that's made them billionaires.

[bodybuilder444444]

@penciltest2 No, just stop spending on all the unconstitutional "investments" that the government is making.I am not a rich person, but in fact just a working middle class man, who just so happens to understand economics. Taxing the shit out of the rich doesn't work. Its also immoral to tax them more just because, who??? YOU think they can. How about I decide to take away something from you just because, who? I think it would better society and because I think you can afford it.

[penciltest2]

@bodybuilder444444 Rather than see the good that has benefited this country from a a system where the rich pay for their privileges, , you defend the leadership that tells you taxes keep you from working. The rich are stealing from YOU and you defend them like a battered wife with nowhere else to go. All of our taxes creates an infrastructure that creates an employed citizenry. This asinine myth that u hold to becomes evident when u realize no jobs came from Bush's Tax breaks to the rich!

[dreamywriter14]

epic fail

[realhiphopman1]

WTFF HOW BOUT ELIMINATING THE FEDERAL RESERVE THEN THERE MIGHT BE WHAT YOU CALL CHANGE.... RON PAUL IS THE TRUTH

[182crazyK]

Politics! Y U NO STAY OFF YOTUBE???

[murpheysmuskets]

The only reason anyone in government ever pushes high speed rail is, it funnels money into amtrak. They dont give a shit about the enviroment. All they want is money in more government officials pockets

[undertakerfan1995]

Get these politics off youtube!

[joangura]

@undertakerfan1995 thumbs up if you Agree!

[yoyo4real21]

@undertakerfan1995 you mean polidicks?

[RunningHalo3andMW2]

@undertakerfan1995 why its important to view all sides of every issue, also people now days are so misinformed it is plain sad

[Twocanskicked42ndstr]

RON PAUL!!!!!!



[RunningHalo3andMW2]

@Twocanskicked42ndstr agreed

[staddlez]

Go back to making a dam sandwhich

[onviant]

An argument can be made for the federal government being involved with roads. The federal government has no business being involved with rail or internet access.

[jRedTree85]

"high speed rail" = moron

[RefreshChannel]

@jRedTree85 we need it.

[helltrackrider]

"Investing in infrastructure"...

Point gun at individual; demand wealth to pay for this "investment" ... should individual not comply with demands - throw them in prison or shoot them...at worst; as a cop - you will get paid leave for murdering an innocent and peaceful individual.

I love America.

[chafenhimer]

finish the job? what job is that?

[ScienceOfThePS3]

This why I hate our government: so full of corrupt politicians and idiots.

[KiaSoulDude]

What's sad is she is my states Senator. I wish we could have a recall vote. She needs to wake up and realize NC citizens care about NC not a foriegn countries nation building. One message for you, "Wake Up You Zombie"

[TheAllimania]

u must be kidding..even tough im not an american, i have to say: its good that u invest in those 3rd world countrys, but i am sure you invest more in war. and you do more damage then you prevent. this whole terror stuff is a lie...to be honest you make war because of fossile fuels, to guarantee america cheap fuels, so your highly enviromental harmfull vehicles can still drive.

also..you should better not invest to much..look at your exchange rate...

lets see if you delete this

[MrIzo56]

Bullshit speaches from bullshit politicians.

When are you gonna learn...

[Skrimpish]

this has got to be a joke

[WHATtheFuuuuuuu]

Youtube's Spotlight is starting to really piss me off showing this bullshit not even americans give two shits about on youtube.

[Aetrion]

Don't upgrade your infrastructure, give the money to the rich so they can spend it in China so they can upgrade their infrastructure!!

[Fantome1989]

This speech is too vague. We have so much work to do but no one will say where we need to start and more importantly how are we going to pay for this investment.

[Pouroushair]

What are all these dislikes? This promotes education as power.

[NonaSoumy]

@Pouroushair This doesn't promotes education, this is propaganda.

[Tr3ySoldier]

@Pouroushair It's a conspiracy within a conspiracy within a conspiracy

[dkizilov]

Ron Paul 2012! I'm sick of garbage politicians like her and many others.

[lightproducer]

Look, Ma'am: Infrastructure can easily be managed by the private sector. I believe the government need only concern itself with our protection, and especially the Constitution's.

[I1KonArtis1I]

RON PAUL!

[RiotHouseLP]

I'm not willing to have anyone spend money in "investments" anywhere till this budget is fixed. That includes Afghanistan and Iraq.

[NENAD95serbia]

What???

What???

What???

[RIVR2319]

There's Bigger Issues Out There, America. Wake Up And Smell the Roses...

[KrisCollino]

Infrastructure is going to go to hell in a hand basket and then big business will cry, "we can't move our goods!....Waaaaaahhhh!!!"

[OshidaYaguchi]

So pretty much your saying, "We should save money by not spending billions of dollars on the war, but oh wait, we need to keep fighting the war until we win even if it waste money because it's the right thing to do." Wow, what logic!

This is the kind of logic you have: Man we really should stop spending so much money on all this pastrami, my son is gaining so much weight, but you know what he loves to eat and he hasn't gained enough weight just yet, so I'm going to keep feeding him pastrami.
