Well, I usually agree with you posts. This time I will take some exceptions.
1. Infrastructure is falling apart because it was built but never maintained. Everything used needs maintenance, and maintenance is expensive and not a sexy political issue. So, kick the can time.
2. Illegal immigrants have been used as a political kick toy for decades or longer - Google the "repatriate" movement sometime in the 1930's I think when the government rounded up all the illegals in buses and bused them back to Mexico. It could be solved, but neither party wants to solve it, because then they can't get the based **** off every 4 years.
