I drive around and look to see what infrastructure we need that we don't have.
I can't see any.
What is it that you would spend money on.
Right now, my city is busy tearing up good roads and resurfacing them so they can spend all their budgeted dollars. What a racket.
The best thing we could do would be to spend the money on severance for all the government people who need to be let go (and their departments shut down) so small business can more easily get started.
Negged for being a lying sack of shit.
It would be just great if you liberals could support these kinds of observations.
You don't think this is going on.
I got news for you dumbass.....l
I have friends who work as mechanics for the local utility. They get called in on overtime at the end of the year and wind up playing cards just so they can burn up the budget....otherwise they lose it.
You'll find some neg rep waiting for you.

In fact, while the U.S. government was pretending to be attending to its neglected infrastructure, the U.S.'s global ranking for the quality of its infrastructure was plummeting lower. A Reuters article reveals that in a mere four years (from 2007 to 2011) the U.S.'s ranking fell from 6 to 16.
The World Economic Forum, which as recently as 1995 listed U.S. infrastructure as tops in the world, now maintains the country has slipped to 23rd place behind, among others, Barbados. The American Society of Civil Engineers, in its most recent infrastructure report card, gave the country a "D'' and asserted it would require an investment of $2.2 trillion over five years to get it in shape.
Washington Gov. Chris Gregoire (D), who has visited Shanghai and other parts of China as part of her efforts to develop her state's economy, told HuffPost "we see our infrastructure deteriorating and becoming inadequate in comparison to those we're in competition with."
Infrastructure Problems In U.S. Go Far Beyond Dollars
"That construction that we see going on in China?" she said. "That used to be us, that used to be us doing all that investment."
Leftism is the rule of people without compassion or mercy.
Yea, the people who created Medicare, the Civil Rights bill, Social Security and ended child slavery, NOW want to kill them all...
And southern slave owners were "compassionate" and "merciful" because they provided housing, food, and clothes to their slaves, right?
There's a lot more to compassion and mercy than just not killing people, and making them into helpless, dependent pets isn't it.
Business creates tax payers.
Chicken - egg.
Compassion and mercy
Dependent pets
Once again, I am going to ask about the "crumbling infrastructure".
I read the articles that keep referencing this, but they don't say just what it is.
Everyone points to the bridge in Minneapolis....but for all the bridges we have......
The question has not been addressed...what infrastructure is missing ?
What can't we do now that we need to be doing ?
More roads ?
More bridges ?
Ports ?

See the difference between the pictures you posted and the one I did? You have a picture of poverty (created by liberal policy) and a picture of dependent children (created by liberal poverty). While I have a picture of a wealthy, healthy, successful, independent, self-reliable adult.
Game. Set. Match. asshole

Hey asshole, you don't get to make shit up to match your pea brain dogma.
In 1938, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Fair Labor Standards Act, which, among other things, placed limits on many forms of child labor.
Progressive Era Reform
Child Labor Reform
Concern for the conditions of the poor gave way to a growing interest in the rights of the working class. One of the most persistent causes of Progressive Era reformers was child labor reform.
The 1890 census revealed that more than one million children, ten to fifteen years old, worked in America. That number increased to two million by 1910. Industries employed children as young as five or six to work as many as eighteen to twenty hours a day.
Physical ailments were common. Glassworks employees were exposed to intense heat and heavy fumes. Young miners sat on boards in cramped positions, breathing heavy dust, sifting through coal. Seafood workers stood for hours shucking oysters at five cents a pail. The sharp oyster shells sometimes cut their hands.
Industrialization did not create child labor, but it did contribute to the need for child labor reform. The replacement of skilled artisans by machinery and the growth of factories and mills made child labor increasingly profitable for businesses. Many employers preferred hiring children because they were quick, easy to train, and were willing to work for lower wages.
Progressive Era reformers believed that child labor was detrimental to children and to society. They believed that children should be protected from harmful environments so that they would become healthy, productive adults. Their goals were to develop programs that would eliminate children's participation in industry and increase their involvement in education and extracurricular activities.
Progressives don't create policy to "protect" anything or anyone. They create policy to further their own greed and laziness. Their focus is - "how do I as a liberal obtain the wealth of others without working for it". When a liberal supports child labor laws, it's not to protect the child. It's to take more labor out of the work force to improve their own chances of getting a job, without having to really earn it. Then they immediately unionize said job so that they can make more money without having to actually earn it. And then they ask the union to provide them with more time off, less work, and more perks.
There is nothing more comical than liberals acting like they care about others. These are the same people who hoard their wealth, purchase expensive iPhones, iPad's, and high speed internet access to bitch about those who have nothing. They don't even see the irony....
some of the best butt hurt from the left I have seen.
