Even in third world countries they are paving roads, as it is a sign of progress. The rats are willing to mismanage everything to a point that the US becomes a banana republic. Disgusting.
True. Of course we are using our dollars to gravel our roads while the third world countries use our billions to pave theirs.
We are becoming a giant sink hole thanks to our worthless leaders.
Third world countries don’t use union labor or
have gov-inspectors to buy off. They just get
things done and move on to the next 100 miles to
be paved. (Like we use to do.)
All you use gravel for is to "mark the trail", so to speak, and to hold the sand in place so it doesn't just wash away to the side.
Northern Indiana has more muck, and gravel stabilizes muck in dry weather to reduce dust. It does nothing in wet weather but if it's piled high enough it'll keep you out of the swamps.
Gravel roads don't work everywhere.
BTW, throughout the Midwest it is commonly the case that "gravel roads" are really pea gravel and tar concoctions that most folks can't tell from more formal paving techniques with heavier asphalt.
The city of Indianapolis has several thousand miles of peagravel and tar roads that are kept in shape by filling larger potholes with asphalt compounds.
What about Porkulus? I thought that Porkulus was supposed to be spent on lots of shovel ready project such as road maintenance.
Since it was Bush’s fault that bridges collapsed, is it now Obama’s fault if roads are crumbling under his watch??????
