They just passed a massive highway and infrastructure spending program, including a bridge to nowhere. It’s not that they don’t have the money. We’re spending the money. It’s just that we are spending it on the wrong things.
I think the problem is the projects are all NEW projects - new roads, bridges, etc. no one wants to fix the old ones.
“They just passed a massive highway and infrastructure spending program, including a bridge to nowhere. It’s not that they don’t have the money. We’re spending the money. It’s just that we are spending it on the wrong things.’
What seems to be happening is we budget for highway and infrastructure repair. Year after year the States put it in their budget and all the money gets used up by lawyers and administrators before dime one gets to the bridge.
New Orleans comes to mind.
