Not that it's his fault really, because nobody before him did anything either -- but now that the issue is front and center, people will start talking, start looking for the money, and realizing where it's all going, how wildly far in debt we are, and why we can't do anything about it even if we want to now.

it's called prioritizing...and as was said above, it's not a sexy, elect me i'll fix the roads type subject. it appears we continue to ignore problems--as if katrina wasn't enough to force us to look to ourselves. this stuff doesn't last forever, and takes maintenance to keep fit.

it's a shame that with us being the richest nation in the world, that we have things such as what happened yesterday.
but then, after seeing a show on discovery that showed a major highway down in south america, i said i'd never complain about our roads again. it was a main thorofare, and was nothing more than a rutted dirt road--and not wide enough to allow comers and goers.

you'd think there would be a rotating plan on road and highway and bridge repairs.
