There’s something strange about *celebrating* the fact that we got it together enough to fix our roads and bridges. Shouldn’t that be something that in an advanced civilization you do repeatedly and like clockwork - the way they feed the war machine?

It would be easy if they didn’t stuff it with so much corruption every time.

Never take roads and bridges (or for that matter, safety, security, or enough food) for granted. But we are taking all those things for granted. We have lost all appreciation for what the miracle of civilization brings us.
Replying to @marwilliamson
With a national debt approaching $30 trillion, a projected deficit of $2 trillion even without BIF, a sputtering economy, and projected high inflation, we should be thinking hard about any more ambitious spending plans.

True, but the USA is not an advanced civilization.
Replying to @marwilliamson
They haven't fixed anything. They say they are going to fix it, but they've been saying that for a LOOOONG time.

Bingo!
