The major problem with the Bush tax cuts is the way they gimmicked them so that a good deal of the cuts would come after Bush was out of office, even if he is elected in November.  Bush has done a lot of shady budgetary accounting these past four years. If a private company did their accounting like the government does,  the whole board of directors and the CEO qould be going to jail.  As tempting as the idea of our 535 member Board of Directors going to jail is, I don't think its going to happen.

As for roads, I'm yet to see the place in the constitution where the federal government is granted the power to build roads.

Article I Section 8:
"The Congress shall have Power ... To establish Post Offices and post Roads"

This clearly grants the federal government the authority to engage in infrastructure projects in the fields of communication and transportation.  The TVA  needs a broad interpretation of the necessary and proper clause for its electricity infrastructure to be deemed constitutional.  Building the interstate highway system doesn't.
