The Bridge, the Mine, the Monster Truck

[kandrathe]

Well, as a blue state it probably didn't support the Iraq war. At a cost of $10 bn per month, it would apparently take less than two years to inspect and fix every bridge in the US, if one decided that to be the most effective use of those monies.

I doubt you will understand this... But, war or not, it wouldn't matter. Bridge and road building isn't sexy like light rail, or hiking and biking trails. The politicians, Republican and Democrats alike, have driven the funding into the realm of vote pandering wretched excess, rather than boring old infrastructure.
