This was my own thought when Himself started making partisan hay out of the disaster the other day.

Admittedly, I don't crunch the numbers for Federal transportation money, gas tax dollars; I'm not on top of the budget detail, and I'm not certain the state didn't have some level of funding responsibility for repairs and maintenance.

However, Iraqi war dollars are needed and can be better used elsewhere in America. And while they're fixing the roads and bridges, maybe we could spare some decent medical and psychological care for our veterans? And then maybe some transitional homeless shelters/housing....
