I would not be certain of the idea that Obama will be given a free pass to expand government to whatever size he wants. Populism still seems to be the bee's knees when it comes to Congressional legislation, and if he remains solid on such policies as the restriction of domestic oil drilling, then he will probably receive a substantial amount of heat in his first year or so in office. Although I initially backed McCain as the lesser of the two evils, my own research into the two candidates has led me to favor Obama as the less anti-human candidate to support. His economic policies are as rancid as his character, but McCain's only saving grace is a handful of tax cuts and spending bills. I still have a good deal of "investigating" to do before I can reach a sealed conclusion, but I would be skeptical of anyone that declares McCain to be the obvious choice.

In other words, the solution to poor infrastructure is greater governmental regulation. I can hardly feign shock at such an implicit statement.
