While we spend billions and **** thousands in Iraq - and not make Americans one bit safer - the infrastructure of the United States is rapidly crumbling. Here's a really good, in-depth article on just how severe the problem is. Snippets:
"The United States needs to spend $225 billion annually — more than twice what it does now — for the next 50 years. That’s more than $11 trillion worth of fix-ups on surface transportation systems alone."
and
"There’s a war in Iraq, a country in which the United States has sunk about $520 billion to help Iraq make significant progress on repair, renovation and renewal of the means by which Iraq cleans and distributes water, provides electricity, transports goods and people and protects against the insults of nature.
Meanwhile, rust continues accumulate at home."
...and Bush just cuts taxes (esp. for the suffering millionaires).
