Despite historic levels of investment in infrastructure over the last twenty years, America’s 2025 infrastructure grades for roads, bridges, safety, and transit look mostly the same. No one should consider putting a single penny more into a program with such bad results. Unfortunately, raising new money is at the top of the list for our country’s association of civil engineers.

I'll accept road work over many of the other ways that money is likely to be spent.

My kids and grandkids could do a lot worse than falling into the grip of a big civil engineering firm.

You gotta weigh it out ya know... good bad spectrum and such. THE GRRRRIIIIPPPPP at least you get a tiny nut out of the thang. I really do hate cars though but we ain't getting trains over night.
