This is infrastructure spending. The one place that does not need to be cut. But troll knows that. He is just playing with me. He just doesn't like the idea of someone calling him on his very poor attempt at trolling, thats all.

Can you point to the Republican leaders in Congress as indicating that all infrastructure spending will not be cut?

No, can you point the the rep leaders that are calling for infrastucture spending cuts?

GOP Proposes Drastic Cuts To Transit Infrastructure Spending

and here:

Democratic Sen. Maria Cantwell said the Republican plan includes major cuts for environmental programs that benefit Washington state. Among them: an 87 percent cut in land and water conservation funds, a 60 percent cut for Puget Sound cleanup efforts and a 37.5 percent reduction in the Pacific coastal salmon recovery fund.

At the same time, Cantwell criticized Obama's budget for cutting the Army Corps of Engineers budget by $913 million. She said the president's plan "puts at risk important flood mitigation, infrastructure and water projects across our state — from Walla Walla to Centralia to the Skagit River, and beyond."

"Washingtonians know all too well the dangers extreme weather and crumbling infrastructure have on our economy and families," Cantwell said.

Rep. Norm Dicks, the top-ranked Democrat on the House Appropriations Committee, was most irked by a Republican plan to wipe out a $75 million program that offers housing vouchers to homeless veterans. He called the plan one of many "unconscionable proposals."

Needed infrastructure vs non needed pork We need to make the difference clear.

What is your definition of infrastructure because you were the one making the argument that infrastructural spending is necessary?

Here's the dictionary definition:

"the system of public works of a country, state, or region; also : the resources (as personnel, buildings, or equipment) required for an activity"

If it's rail in CA or a bridge in NY, then it's pork and it better get cut. If it's a highway in TX or a port in SC, then it's infrastructure and needs to go forward. Is it really that hard to understand?
