This person should take a trip on I 40 through Flagstaff AZ west.

Is this from that alt-left paper in Mobile?

[Yosemitest]

An Alabama Highway Patrolman, a distant friend of a relative in Birmingham, told me that too much money was being funneled into the Alabama economy by writing tickets on most of those 2 lane roads coming into Alabama.
The Governor, way back then, had said that local economies profit from out-of-state people stopping to get fuel, and food, and even to pay tickets in those one-horse towns, and unless he absolutely had to, he would NOT make them 4 lane byways until he was forced to do so.
But that was back in the early 90s.

This person should drive in NYC. They’d need a moon buggy to safely negotiate all the potholes and ruined pavement. It’s so bad, you can’t even do the speed limit on many major thoroughfares. And, better bring your own flashlight, because a whole lotta street lights are burned out and never replaced for years. Oh, and I hope he’s a good approximater of where he thinks the lanes should be, because a lot of important roads and highways have NO lane markings, they having been worn off long ago and never repainted. But DeBlasio always seems to have tons of money for his ghetto thug darlings and illegals.

You need good quality general infrastructure for efficient internal trade. We’ve been letting ours degrade for years while spending the bank on so called green tech and social justice causes.

Amen for this writer stating the obvious! Congress spends spends spends and spends. And then when they don’t have the money to spend they do what? Spend some more. “Infrastructure” spending should be spent with the money we have not the money we imagine, not the money that is realized by cutting here and plugging into some model that states if this then that but REAL HARD DOLLARS. Until that happens I don’t want to hear about another liberal gibsmedat spending spree with conservatives proudly cheering on the 3rd generation removed under further mountains of debt.

We CANNOT sustain this continual spending spree

The biggest reason the Rats wont vote to give Trump a Trillion dollars? They know what they did with the Trillions the feckless GOP gave them...

“Infrastructure” screams two things to me—crony capitalism and an excuse for higher taxes or fees for stuff that should be covered for what we’re already paying.

It is no accident that the CEO of Goldman (who managed to move his longtime #2 in as Trump’s Chief Economic Adviser) is pushing infrastructure—that coerced, big-government spending is central to their business model.

What would help more than anything is to put less strain on our infrastructure. Deport every last illegal and stop the invaders.
