I agree with that. I also hold congress responsible for this countries decaying infrastructure. AS the richest nation on the planet, we should have an infrastructure system that reflects our wealth. Roads and bridges should be clean and safe. Our transportation system of air and rail especially rail should be top of the line. We should have a water distribution system that should be able to mitigate the effects of drought in any part of the country.

Congress’s over generosity to social programs I would say is much to blame for this.

And if you look at the mam-made wonders of the world, I’ll bet dollars to donuts that they weren’t built by union workers.

Its bizarre isnt it. The one thing national government really should be able to control and dictate (because it is a national issue) is the provision of infrastructure. But they just cannot resist dabbling in local issues that should remain just that.

I agree. If the infrastructure is good, everything else has a chance. If it is bad, there’s no hope at all.

However, your bet is lost. Amazingly, the great pyramid of Giza was built with union labor!
