...there’s always money for Afghanistan, operations in Iraq and Syria, aid for Israel and Egypt (and a host of other nations), stationing of troops all over the world, etc
Federal owned or state owned? Who is ultimately responsible for them? It's always a fight around to figure out who fixes the bridges.. County road, State hwy. It does seem that some don't like the responsibility

My state of Mass. is a perfect example of this waste. We have had projects that go on and on for years and budgets that get blown up and laughed at. We have one of the highest per mile cost for highways at over $600,000 when our neighbors to the North such as NH can do it for under $200,000 and their roads are better and last longer.
