Aw for cryin' out loud.

Okay, maybe our best response IS to change the subject and place blame on welfare recipients.

Those of you who postulate that our infrastructure is just fine......are not in agreement with even your conservative legislators and congress persons.

It is absolutely true that we are allowing our infrastructure to deteriorate. But that's just a piece of the puzzle and it's deliberate. What we really need is to privatize everything. Put corporations in charge of public infrastructure. I'm sure that makes everyone feel more relaxed and secure, and of course it would be LOTS cheaper with corporations operating our water, power and transportation systems.
