    So for years we’ve been threatened by our crumbling infrastructure, and now we’re threatened by fixing our infrastructure?

    It looks like a no-win situation.

      If it was just fixing bridges, that would be understandable. However, states and localities are also spending it on expanding lanes, and all but ignoring public transportation.

      its almost like the people that end up spending the money don’t really want to fix the problem.
