Steve Chabot Wants to Return to Iraq - Maintain Empire

Steve Chabot condemns GW Bush's pullout date in Iraq saying it will be more expensive to go back in at a later date. Militarily held empires are exceedingly costly & not maintainable in the long run. How would he gut domestic services & programs to maintain our middle east protectorates?
One need only look at the over extension of the first century Roman Empire to see the folly of Chabot's strategies.

Fostering livable communities through place-based policies and investments that increase transportation choices access to transportation services for

Steve Chabot, whore to the oil industry, condemned the USDOT decision to award $10.9 million to the Cincinnati Streetcar project saying it would be better spent on maintaining the status quo replacing a highway bridge.
The Tiger III criteria can be found here. Notably in the criteria:

"While the TIGER Discretionary Grant program is not a Recovery Act program, job creation and near-term economic activity remain a top priority of this Administration; therefore, DOT will give priority (as it did for the TIGER and TIGER I1 Discretionary Grant programs) to projects that are expected to quickly create and preserve jobs and promote rapid increases in economic activity, particularly jobs and activity that benefit economically distressed areas as defined by section 301 of the Public Works and Economic Development Act of 1965, as amended."

Currently the bridge replacement is years off while the streetcar project is almost ready to start on (unless obstructionist ideologue auto cultists manage to delay it).
Other points Steve Chabot ignores:
Improving energy efficiency, reducing dependence on oil, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and benefiting the environment.
Fostering livable communities through place-based policies and investments that increase transportation choices access to transportation services for people in communities across the United States.

Steve Chabot Supports Onerous Job and Innovation Killing SOPA

Steve Chabot is one of the supporters of the over reaching, job and innovation killing Stop Online Piracy Act.
Ron Paul (R TX) had this to say:

While combating online copyright infringement is a goal we all strongly support … this legislation would cause substantial harm to the innovation and economic opportunities created by the Internet….
You’ve previously stated that this legislation is intended to target “rogue” foreign websites engaging in copyright infringement. While this is a laudable goal and one we support, the SOPA’s overly broad language … would target legitimate domestic websites, creating significant uncertainty for those in the technology and venture capital industries.

Like the Patriot Act, Steve Chabot would throw people's constitutional rights away solely to protect monied interests. Especially, now, with a struggling economy and high unemployment this is an unwise move,
