We have left our infrastructure decline for decades in favor of dumping money into the military/industrial thieves. The Federal government dumped everything in the laps of the states, who passed as much as they could to local governments.
Catching up to the 21 century is going to require lots of time and money.

Because WE hate it when bridges collapse while WE are on them!

People are finally getting tired of there bs. Especailly with what dumb fuck that was in office. It's going to take an decade to get us out of this mess.
