When the country is several trillion dollars behind in the upkeep of its infrastructure, costs are low, business in the construction industry is slow, interest rates are at historic lows, why isn’t now the best time of all to invest in the work we will need to do sometime in the future anyway? Should we wait until business is very busy and the costs will be higher and delays longer? Can anyone explain the logic to me?

Is the Republican strategy to do the work when it will cost the most and compete with private sector work that needs to be done? Are Republicans in favor of inflation and bubbles? It would seem so by the timing they choose to do things like infrastructure investing and deficit financing.

It must be an indication of how desperate the Scott Brown supporters in Sturbridge are. The first sign we had for Elizabeth Warren was free-standing. It did have an old VISE-GRIP^® attached to one leg to stabilize it and keep it from blowing away in the wind. One day, we found the sign, VISE-GRIP^® and all, were missing. I figure that nobody would steal an opposition sign if they thought their own candidate could win legitimately.

Being an experienced resident of Sturbridge, I have a number of signs in reserve. This one went up on October 17, 2012 with a few extra security measures to protect it from theft. I guard with vigilance the expression of my political views as one of my federally guaranteed civil rights.

There are very few people in this world who have tried to intimidate me and have come away from the experience feeling that they are better off or have accomplished their mission.
