President Obama Addresses the Transportation Bill Congress Won’t Renew (VIDEO)

The problems in Washington and the beef between the legislators continues. President Obama is reaching out to the community to persuade Congress to pass an extension of the Transportation Bill.

If an extension isn’t drawn up it’s going to cost millions of road workers & construction workers their jobs. If the bill isn’t extended, or a new one is passed, road work and government construction will be at a stand still costing billions of dollars in lost wages.

The President said: “At the end of September, if Congress doesn’t act, funding for our roads and bridges will expire. This will put a stop to highway construction, bridge repair, mass transit systems and other important projects that keep our country moving quickly and safely.”

Obama continued to say: “It would affect thousands of construction workers and their families who depend on the jobs created by these projects to make ends meet. Now usually renewing this transportation bill is a no-brainer. In fact congress has renewed it seven times in the last two years. But thanks to political posturing in Washington they haven’t been able to extend it this time, and the clocks running out.”
