    Default Infrastructure Report by State

    How bad is your state’s infrastructure?

    https://infrastructurereportcard.org...nfrastructure/

    Looking at this report, every Congress critter should be on board for passing the infrastructure bill.

    I doubt many Republicans will vote for the infrastructure bill, but will take credit for it, after the fact, just like the stimulus package.

    Not waiting on Nancy, waiting on the progressives who won’t vote for it unless the other bill is passed, which is being held up by the 2 DINO Senators.

    Publicly owned and financed transportation systems and infrastructure sounds like Socialism to me.

    Wasn't NASA a 'State Owned Enterprise'?
    Public Schools: State owned, Paid by the State, Free to everyone. Is that socialism?

    Every bit of those wires, switches, transformers, fuses, circuit breakers, towers, poles, etc. are built by private companies.
