100 bridges in each congressional district are identified as crumbling. That is 43,500 bridges nationally.

At some point some idiot will drive an over-loaded truck on one of these bridges and subsequently lives will be lost.

How much money should be spend to fix 43,500 bridges to prevent this loss of life? Should it be equal to the amount of money we spent to send someone to the backside of the moon?

Should it equal the money spent on fighting the flue outbreak?

Should it equal the money in a tax cut?

Should we spare no expense until all bridges and all infrastructure is above average?

100 bridges in each congressional district are identified as crumbling.

If there is Federal money up for grabs each Congressman will tell you that he has 10,000 bridges crumbling in his district.

43,000 bridges in America are more important than the money we have utterly wasted in Afghanistan and on creating the Syrian and Libyan separatist movements, on giving missiles to Ukraine, on new wars in Africa, on stadiums for the NFL, on cutting off genitals of soldiers, on cell phones for illegals, etc.
