Obama says to stop spending money in Iraq, rebuild American infrastructure instead
At the CWA conference, Senator Barack Obama (D-IL) says America must focus on rebuilding its own infrastructure and proposes a national infrastructure reconstruction bank that will invest $60 billion over ten years for that purpose. He says if America can spend $400 million per day in Iraq and $10 billion a month rebuilding a foreign nation, it can spend $10 billion domestically to put citizens back to work and restructure the economy.

The article above matches my thoughts exactly. My only comment would be 60 billion over ten years is actualy a small number considering we are 50 states it comes out to 120 million per state per year. But it is a step in the right direction. I would fully support this.
