@gmorlitz posted:We don't need to maintain no infrastructure! (Yes, I know its a double negative). Of course, we don't remember what it was like before we had the infrastructure and the benefits we get from it. I once read that before the interstate highway system the Kansas turnpike ended in an Oklahoma wheat field. I couldn't find that article but the following link should suffice. How fast can we go in reverse?

Interesting. President Eisenhower did us a great service, together with the work that FDR had done in the 1930s. Today I don't think anyone reasonable debates the need for upkeep and improvements, the issues are about the sources and uses of current and future dollars. There's a lot of political stuff that gets into so I will leave it there.
