Dams, highways, bridges, transmission lines and towers, we've managed to throw together our infrastructure, while spending every extra damned dime for decades to keep the indigent afloat in pizza, fried poultry, cheap beer, low cost medical care, and housing that they merrily destroy while residing therein. Free cheese, free milk, every handout imaginable, taxed by graft and the greediness of mainly Left-leaning urban administrations gleefully money-grabbing with two hands and demanding more through a mouthful of elegant buffet fodder bought and paid for on federal grant money.
And now somebody has to fork up cash to pay for new physical infrastructure that we can't afford because we bought the world lunch and watched our GNP march off into the sunset. Well, there is none. Get ready to reap the harvest of the welfare state. Hello, American Götterdämmerung.
