The nedia is chasing this like a greyhound after the mwchanical rabbit meanwhie;

Delaware has closed a major bridge because the support pillars are leaniing.

Maryland has close th I70 bridge over the Pnobsct because a steel beem needs work.

The infrastructure is falling down around our ears but does the media care?

No because they only just found these problems. There wer very few shovel ready jobs because there was not even enough money available to spend on assessing needed repairs. Believe it or not mintenance actually costs money. We were far to busy throwing it away in two silly wars and giving tax breaks to people who did not need or deserve them.

All that stimulus money Obama pushed to his supporters would have been nice used properly.

Maybe the VA that he wanted to fix Nope

Soory chum but there were a hell of a lot of smiling GOP governors posing with the big checks for the press photos. Like I told you I have a long memory.
