Obama took (stole) from us over $7 TRILLION he promised would be used for “infrastructure” and “shovel-ready jobs”
yet, there’s nary a new major highway in America, nor any new airports or ports or universities even...
after several years of no construction and no ‘shovel-ready jobs’ Obama was finally forced to admit that was wrong, there weren’t any
But he’s kept our money!
WHERE HAS HE HIDDEN ALL OF OUR MONEY THAT HE STOLE FROM US!?

I have wished for a return to concrete roadways for many years.
A bit louder inside the car, yet far superior to asphalt for durability.

I’ve lived in Europe for a few years. The Netherlands and Germany’s roads are impressive. They often use bricks more; and it seems easier to replace a few sections of road with bricks instead of closing down the entire road.

Here in our county we have green street signs and blue street signs. The green streets are maintained by the county, the blue ones are not. When developers install subdivisions, they eventually transfer the streets to the county, but the county will only accept those built up to standards. If not, the street gets a blue sign. No paving. No snow removal.
Omaha is more generous with streets they have not accepted than my county is:

In my neighborhood in South San Francisco, we had numerous potholes and complained for years. The city recently did micro-surfacing of all the surrounding streets. Now it looks great. When the notices went around, we wondered what the heck is micro-surfacing? Rather than chop up the old pavement, a truck pours a layer on top of the existing street surface that fills in all potholes and cracks, with a smooth thin even layer the width of the street. It saved the city money, and is a cheaper alternative than removing old asphalt and subsequent paving. And it was done quickly in one day.

In Arizona they used old tires. But the trades Union complained and they had to stop. The tire roads lasted double the life of regular crap they use today. Ugh!

Into making and installing millions of these signs and then later disposing of them.

The clicky clack of the road used to put me to sleep when I was a kid in the back seat.
