Exactly right! Our railroads are incredibly substandard. Our bridges
and dams were built during FDR's terms and are not only aging but
many are about to burst. Our own infrastructure is failing. ln a
state, CA, where the roads used to be fabulous I regularly hit
potholes large enough to blow out tires. The public city school my
daughter taught in was so filthy I had to go in and clean the
classroom myself. She called me, "Mom bring your cleaning supplies
and come down here, you won't believe it." No money for janitors,
just bombs. There is asbestos in the ceilings, the windows don't
open. Our priorities are very mixed up. Countries that don't have oil
can commit as many atrocities as they like on their citizens and we
are ho hum. If Americans don't wake up soon and support a
progressive peaceful agenda, the Reeps will successfully bring on
Armageddon. Oh Cr** I better shut up and get back to work.
