Salon.com: "Those were different times. It's no accident Obama dragged along a Republican from a 1980s White House. Now even New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, touted by some as a pragmatist, is making a big show of canceling his state's long-delayed rail-tunnel project. Republicans are rejecting infrastructure spending because they think it's good politics to do so right now, and the fact that such spending creates jobs as well as builds or modernizes crucial public projects doesn't seem to matter. In fact, the job-creation aspect of Obama's infrastructure plans probably counts against it, as Republicans seem determined to block any effort to put Americans back to work if it could benefit Democrats politically."
