Why would Obama talk about the infrastructure they allotted $280 billion in the stimulus bill for that?

because while those of us who are realistic say Drill baby drill, 0bama thinks spend baby spend, he failed to note that the left over money is still there and when he called for high speed rail he also fails to note that it will burn more electricity which is mainly produced by fossil fuels, and cost much more to maintain than it will make, not to mention that one look at am track proves that the government can not manage transportation at a profit or even become cost efficent
