Default Yet another reason...

....why we are becoming a second-rate nation.

Crumbling infrastructure. Took a road trip on I-95 north and was
appalled at the miserable condition of the main north-south interstate
on the east coast, the bridges and the fact that in most places, it
still is only two lanes on each side. Massive traffic jams, bridges that
look as if they are ready to fail, crumbing surfaces. And our railroads
are in even worse shape.

Meanwhile, countries that take their economies seriously are building
and fixing infrastructure like there's no tomorrow.
