Putting aside the economic benefit of creating jobs, repairing our nation's infrastructure must be a priority.
The nation's electrical grid - which is antiquated and still declining - is very fragile. It is almost completely centralized and therefore is too big to fail. The US has the most power outages of any other developed nation on earth. Some experts believe eventually there will be power outages on a nationwide scale completely rendering the country useless. Security specifically is weak in this sector nationwide. What's to stop cyber terrorists from taking advantage of this?
Flint's crisis is only the beginning when it comes to our water supply. More and more examples will happen because of the federal government's lack of investment in fixing our antiquated and declining systems.
That's all pretty bad and republicans refuse to do ANYTHING about it.
Hillary has a 5 year plan to help repair the nation's infrastructure costing $275 billion. That dollar amount is unfortunately not high enough, but it seems somwhat achievable from a policy standpoint. If Hillary became president, however, the republicans in the House would still carry on with the scorched earth policy obstruction we saw under Obama. Republicans and their puppets at Fox News will predictably ridicule the plan with faux outrage and say NOTHING positive about it therefore she won't get anywhere with it.
See if republican in office were mature adults they would say about her theoretical plan "okay I don't like this or that, but I will work with you on x y and z to make this bill work."
Unfortunately republicans are complete pussies who can't compromise or be objective about anything Obama or Hillary come up with as policy ideas. That's their pathetic way of saving face when losing elections. If Hillary wins, the republicans will act like children out of reaction to losing the White House for 3 terms. Hillary will get little accomplished because of their uncompromising obstruction.
The question is: how can we fix this problem? When will people realize how serious this is?
