The collapse of the steam tunnel there, and now this bridge episode in Minnesota have really brought those thoughts home.
The overall situation is really scary.
How in the world can we ever replace this stuff as it just simply wears out?

CBS-Radio had a report the other day that put the cost at $5,500.00 per person in the US. Not sure if that was everyone or "taxpaying Adults".
It was over a Trillion dollars.
As someone else posted, states have used monies that were "dedicated" to road/highway/bridge repair for everything else.
As we as voters have been "taught" over the past several years to think that no tax raises or lower taxes would be good for us all.
