We will now see our politicians establish a massive new federal program, staffed by thousands, to inspect every bridge and overpass in the United States. All for our safety, of course.
For the past 30 years the Main Mantra in US politics has been Cut Taxes! Let's Get the Gummint Off People's Backs! Bad Taxes, Nasty Taxes!

Result? Governments cut in places they hope no one will notice, like maintenance for public infrastructure. They just hope their luck will hold till they're out of office. But increasingly there will be cases like in Minneapolis, or New Orleans LOL.

Pathetic.
