Why Improve Infrastructure When You Plan To Sell It Off To Lowest Bidders. [View all]

The dirtiest little secret about the GOP agenda is that they will NEVER NEVER improve infrastructure. And the worst part of this secret is that it is up for sale to whoever is willing to buy it. So under their control the bridge you cross and pay a toll on in the future might even be owned by China, India, or even some terrorist organization.

Look at their rhetoric and you get the message. And the obstruction is about waiting until you have control And after that water systems, sewage systems, road systems, bridges et al will go on the block to private corporations. We already see what has happened to some expressways. Look at the parking meters in Chicago. And look at the NW Parkway in Colorado.

The voter eventually won't own anything. Look at the rhetoric about getting rid of our national parks and giving them back to the states to do what they will. So someday you might go into Rocky Mountain National Park, Yoesemite, Yellowstone, or the Grand Canyon and pay to get in with the profits going overseas somewhere.

We need to wake up on this issue. And WE MUST UNDERSTAND WHY THE GOP WILL NOT SPEND A PENNY ON INFRASTRUCTURE.
Why would you when you intend to privatize it all even to someone like the Saudis.
