I love the now-standard lib media trope about the crumbling of our national infrastructure and how we need to raise taxes to fix it. The answer is quite simple: the state and local taxes that used to go into fixing bridges, tunnels and sewers now goes to the bloated public employee wages and benefits.
Our infrastructure is good to excellent. We don't have to squander billions on it nor on bringing high speed internet to remote rural places like Obongo has proposed. This "crumbling infrastructure" line is BS and a sop to the construction unions to get their votes
