Call him the Anti-Innovation, Anti-Technology Speaker.
Nancy Pelosi unveils a plan for putting government squarely behind innovation and technology by providing broadband "no more than a keystroke or a mouse click away from the jobs and opportunity broadband both creates and supports," and gets slammed by Hastert.
Funny, when George W. Bush announced a more expensive plan in April 2004, Denny Hastert was mum. The following week, he OK'd Bush's $50 Billion request for military expenditures in Iraq.
Honestly now. Isn't that tired old "tax and spend" saw getting just a little worn out?
Denny Hastert has taxed and spent the middle class of this country into a future of ruin, piling up a national debt that will be well beyond $10 trillion by the time he and George W. Bush are out of office.

Here’s the real scoop folks …
The thing that busted Hastert’s balls (aside Pelosi and the Democrats suggesting it) is that cheap, high-speed, wireless internet, is -- and has been -- possible for quite some time. But the Republicans -- in cahoots with the phone in cable companies -- are trying to keep their monopolies and charge you up the kazoo for service (bend over, smile, and then say thank you.)
Community wireless internet service is a reality. It just takes a few out-of-Republican-control techies and some community initiative.
It’s happened down the road from you in Champaign and they’re trying to set one up in Chicago.
I won’t continue to repeat what’s been said better elsewhere.
