To what infrastructure do you refer, and is its maintenance under federal, state, or municipal control?

This isn't data. These don't even qualify as anecdotes; they're just the names of 4 highways.

Ever notice that when the regressives are involved they build roads and hospitals and police stations in other countries at American taxpayers' expense while telling Americans 'Sorry, can't do that here, that would be SOCIALISM! ' ?

Most of the road building projects here in Texas are now toll roads championed by, you guessed it....consevatives! Conservatives here are absolutely infatuated with the toll idea for some reason. Both parties are guilty of it, however. I have no idea why the OP is trying to push it as an exclusively progressive philosophy. Maybe he has an agenda to push?

Really.... Do you know which party controls Texas? Or do you just live in a one horse town?

The stimulus program got neutered by Congress.... Not to mention the idea for a National Infrastructure Reinvestment Bank never materialized once put forth in 2007.

Our infrastructure needs trillions invested over the next several decades.
