I’m embarrassed. The USA badly needs infrastructure.
We should be good at it ...
We used to worry about bridges over 50 years old, now we worry about bridges over 50 minutes old. Trump is right, we're falling apart at the seams.
When quality American companies are used, our construction is good.
We have ALWAYS been good at it. Canals, steamships, ironclads, steel making, railroads crossing the nation in short order, rockets, superhighways.
Liberals destroyed traditional liberal curricula decades ago and are doing the same thing to technical disciplines. High schools have dumbed down their curricula to avoid stigmatizing under-performing minorities.
I would not be surprised at all to find an honest investigation ties the failure back to the degradation of American schools. I also would not be surprised that an honest investigation finds other, different “root causes” of the failure.
