(VIDEO) X-Transportation Sec. Lahood: America is “One Big Pot Hole”, And It’s The GOP’s Fault!

Outgoing Transportation Secretary Ray Lahood says “America is one big pot hole” and that it’s time Washington reinvests in our country’s crumbling infrastructure! Lahood also says repairing and building roads would be great for small businesses! Should the federal government pick up the bill for fixing our broken highways and byways?

PLUS: According to a new report, traffic is costing Americans billions of dollars and hours. However, only 5.2% of the money collected to improve our roads is actually being used for that purpose! Will investing in new roads relieve some of our country’s gridlock? Or should there be more emphasis on improving mass transit systems?

    I recall the last time Norm Mineta ran for office. He bragged about how much transportation money he had spent on our small local (Ben Lomond, CA) park and Guadaloupe (sp?) Creek park in San Jose.

    Seems like the "Keepers" of the transportation funds have a bad habit of playing politics with the cash!
