Fret not, Bill: the GOPers are blocking infrastructure improvement, too.

They are simply saying we should be paying for it. I agree they are
not willing to actually raise the taxes to do it tho.
That is where I part with all of those guys. We should ALL be paying
higher taxes and THAT money should be put into infrastructure.
The best way to do it is through user taxes like the gas tax. The
problem is our government steals that money and spends it in other
places so we are skeptical when they want to raise the tax.

Exactly. California has for years stolen the gas tax money, and given
an IOU, and transferred the money to the general fund. We passed a law
that said gas tax money had to be be spent on roads except in a fiscal
crises. We are still not out of a fiscal crises here in Calif. And as
to building infrastructure. We are not! We are sort of doing
maintenance on aging infrastructure. And with no real jobs, how are we
going to pay for that work? Government can not pay for the work. They
can only pass on money collected via taxes, or now by creating faux
money. Which means we have to pay those bills again, but with inflated
dollars. Ask Hillary how are we going to create jobs? Ask all the
candidates. We have let a group of "environmentalists" who figure any
mining or manufacturing is bad for the environment. With that group
pretty much in control, we are not go to survive as a nation. We are
going to be a bankrupt, as Harry how that works out, nation, and the
environment will really go to hell. Burning wood for heat, etc.
Rusting vehicles littering the landscape, and no knowledge how to
actually manufacture stuff by those young enough to work.
