You do realize that at our founding we were barely above third world standing and deeply in debt
We were hardly in a position for infrastructure investment
But in 1803, Thomas Jefferson made the largest infrastructure investment in our history. The Louisiana Purchase
There was nothing in the Constitution authorizing him to do so.
Jefferson didn't purchase the Louisiana Territory from the French the Congress did under it's Constitutional authority. Territory is a bit of a stretch as far as infrastructure spending though isnt it? You could say we purchased a requirement for infrastructure support in the Port of New Orleans. But it being an international port would fall under the purview of the Fed unlike local and state roads.The Louisiana Purchase was the largest infrastructure investment in history
Thomas Jefferson approved it
Show where it is allowed in the Constitution
I been on those roads, some are kind of poorly thought out, especially around New Stanton.Pennsylvania has the country's highest gas tax. Most of the money is wasted.
I suspect many of the roads date to the 18th century.I been on those roads, some are kind of poorly thought out, especially around New Stanton.
He had the House and the Senate for 2 years.... Poor Donald.
it was Trump that walked out
Trump walked away from infrastructure negotiations before they really began
After a Trump outburst, infrastructure week appears to be dead.www.vox.com
I hope you realize that Democrat Republicans independents fringe party's & non voters live in Every state in the union. This political party over country is doing great damage to our country.Biden's state has some of the worst roads in the country.
There's a pothole every hundred feet. And the same potholes have been there for years, unrepaired.
None of the funds actually go toward repairing anything.
Maybe you should...Yes......you have no rational answer to the truth...
The politicians in Pennsylvania were already given lots and lots of money to deal with infrastructure.........they did not use that money for infrastructure, and now want even more money that they will not use for infrastructure....
Your response?
No one opposes restoring or upgrading our infrastructure. What conservative oppose is calling everything from welfare to child care infastructureHowever, they're wrong.

Wonder how the Congressional delegation from PA voted on the bills.
That looks to me like a two-lane local road, why is funding repairs/replacement a federal matter? The Pittsburgh city council should be funding maintenance on its own roads and bridges.However, they're wrong.

Then you should support a stand alone bill which is intended to restore and repair road, bridges and other real infrastructure projects in the country. Not billions and billions more for a variety of social programs.We have Congressional elections in nine months
I would like to see all the Republicans in Pennsylvania who voted against funding infrastructure have billboards placed in their district showing the collapsed bridge

YOUR Congressman voted against repairing our bridges
I'm sorry do you know me?
Cities don't maintain state or US hi-waysThat looks to me like a two-lane local road, why is funding repairs/replacement a federal matter? The Pittsburgh city council should be funding maintenance on its own roads and bridges.
If it was a hazard, why was it open to traffic?Sure would have
The bridge had been identified as a hazard in 2018. It would have been eligible for federal funding.
Republicans in Pennsylvania voted against that funding
You might want to consider trying some St. John's Wort or something. You got issues.Sure libertarian fuckup.
Tell us the history of the world.
Not really.It's rather coincidental that a bridge collapses in the same state, just a couple of hours before Biden is scheduled to give a speech on infrastructure.
Not really.
Pittsburgh has more bridges than any city in the world and they are rapidly aging out. The culprit is the continued ignorance of a growing national problem. They will be replaced when they fail but the victims will not.
