President Barack Obama commended Senator Whitehouse at a press conference to urge support for legislation that will put Americans back to work and help rebuild our aging transportation infrastructure.
Senator Whitehouse is an original cosponsor of the Rebuild America Jobs Act, which would provide immediate investments to improve roads and bridges.
In Rhode Island, 1 in 5 bridges are structurally deficient -- the fourth highest in the country. The Rebuild America Jobs Act will give Rhode Island immediate investments of at least $162,400,000 that could support a minimum of approximately 2,100 jobs
Sadly, no one really knows what or who to believe these days. I don't believe the presidents policy of taking from me to give to a construction worker to build a bridge can actually be called a job. What happens when the bridge is complete; I have less money and the worker is unemployed. Nor do i believe the republicans when they are content with sending companies over seas because bigger profits equal bigger donations! Where have the true statesman gone? America has faded into corrupt abyss!
