American Bridges Falling Down

On May 23rd, sections of the I-5 bridge that crosses over the Skagit river collapsed, sending two cars plummeting into the frigid waters below. It is just the latest failure of American infrastructure at a time when annual spending on construction is at the lowest rate since 1993. What's more, the American Society for Civil Engineers has given the U.S. a D+ in overall infrastructure. They estimate it will take an investment of $3.6 trillion by 2020 to bring American roads, bridges and waterways up to safety standards. RT Correspondent Meghan Lopez takes a look at the long road ahead.

1. We build bridges in other countries instead

instead of repiring or replacing our own.

Republicans don't see the need to give more money for our intrastructure.

3. And we structure single payer health into their constitutions, too. On our dime.
