The Crumbling of America comes on next Thursday on History International at 9pm..........The estimate of the cost was approx $5T to repair all thats failing, but there is another documentary titled Inspector America or something like it, an engineer who has traveled the country, and viewed its many failings. He estimated the cost, if you can imagine at $22T.
When Eisenhower was president $12% of generated tax revenues was used to maintain what then was relatively new..........after he left office the downward trend began.........its now around 1.5% or less. The corporations, and the mega rich no longer pay any, or little taxes. Even though these corporations are used like their own personal ATM's and their legal theft continues almost daily, they manage to keep most of what they rake in.
Imagine what it all really looks like up close and personal, this is what both these programs illustrate.
I think I somewhat do everytime I leave the house, I have to dodge pot holes in some places like bullets.
There use to be signs on the roads, "your tax dollars at work". Years ago. Now we know if our tax dollars had been at work this would not be the case.
