It is estimated that 600,000 bridges have obsolete designs or structural problems, and the average bridge today is about 45 years old.

The US is in deep trouble.
We spent trillions of tax dollars nation building in the middle east and elsewhere around the world . Much of that money was borrowed and now we’re stuck with what we have today . We can thank these lifetime politicians for where we are. We’ve been ripped off by just about anyone willing stick their neck out to do so , most knowing they will never get nailed for it .We all need to wake-up to this abuse and actually do something about it .
So question all those and bills and taxes paid and voted and passed for infrastructure by each state where is the money going. Technically I don’t think that the federal govt is responsible for this but the states are where are the funds going
How much money do we spend on this and where does it go? Is there no questioning of who is wasting the money the cronyism and corruption that no matter how much we spend it will never be enough.
I think that at the state level infrastructure be an independent commission or body that is only responsible for this and they can have taxing authority they are elected or not based on this issue alone.
