John Stossel, I just moved to Tacoma, WA and the roads are horrible. Please do a report here on why the reads are crap, haven't been painted, looks crummy overall. I think I know why and the state I heard is cutting funds for road work. Even in nearby cities of Lakewood, Ft Lewis, they need to fix it. Thanks for great reporting.

Politicians want infrastructures, new visions! They've admitted these are temporary solutions. Without manufacturing jobs, we don't need infrastructures? These manufacturing jobs helped people pay taxes, buy houses, cars, and kept the economy rolling. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out Nafta and Cafta played a huge role in the downfall of America! Folks, the Change, Taxpayers expected, that have a job at present, 'ain't gonna happen' unless you let the politicians know you're fed up with their deceit and greed! Taxpayers, of all races, just thought they were fed up with the Bush Administration! Obama convinced voters he was the man for President, so in next few months, let's see how he handles economy and stops doing radical things that's costing trillions!" Americas' debt would have been drastically reduced from Obamas' two years of campaigning! Promising to redistribute wealth isn't the answer! Raising taxes on highest income earners who are private business owners won't create jobs! During these depressed times, this will accomplish the socialists' goals. Socialist and Radical changes will haunt America forever! Taxpayers, of all races, should have put an end to 'social and welfare programs', numerous committees and boards. The following shows how socialist and radical programs took place. 1977 - Community Reinvestment Act. Carter admininstration. The Democratic Congress intimidated banks into making sub-prime loans to high-risk buyers. People living off social and welfare programs shouldn't have been pushed into buying the American dream without working for it. 2000-2008 - Frank, Meeks, Waters, Dodd, Reid, Clinton, Pelosi, (naming a few) stating "We don't have a crisis. Nothings' wrong with Freddie/Fannie!" They continue to cover mess up! Raines, Howard, and Johnson were some of their buddies that walked away with 20-90 million dollar parachutes! Was this a windfall or what? From 1970 until 2009, the automakers continued 'producing lots of cars'! The plastic cars cost a fortune. Maintenance and repairs are huge. Didn't the automakers, politicians, insurance companies and others that profited ever stop to think about America's future? Who profited besides the plastic manufacturers? While I'm on a roll, it's time for AIG, Freddie, Fannie, several banks, GM, Chrysler, and others taking Taxpayers money, to file bankruptcy, as they need to learn how to run a private business, thus stopping the politicians from taking control. Politicians have some nerve saying that 'stronger government regulatory power is essential and broader powers are needed by them?' Taxpayers would be fools to let this happen after what's happened to America! You're not entitled to any power! Just think, Obama is now stating 'maybe, his new spending of almost another four trillions will be partially paid off by 2012!' With What? Oh, I almost forgot, 2012 is election year!
