Okay - find something to cherry pick so you can jut out your little jaw and pretend you were not given proof of the OP's thesis.

Bridges are the only category where the grade lowered, and that was c to c-.  The five other categories went up.  They are drinking water, aviation, inland waterways, energy, and ports.
Going up from **** to ****-plus doesn't refute that our infrastructure is crumbling. 

It is 80 years old and it is FINALLY getting some patches. The fact that people have to PURCHASE their drinking water in the store tells anyone with a brain that a squiggle upward doesn't make the **** safe and doesn't refute that the infrastructure is SINGNIFCANTLY degraded. 

When you can drink the **** that comes out of your tap, signify, kid. China has high speed rail all throughout the country - our rickety railroads from LAST CENTURY are unsafe at any speed. 

The world is leaving America behind - while we argue over what is a woman. Our infrastructure was a GIFT from the greatest generation - and we are **** on it. We should be adding to it - not watching it crumble.

I have not said one word about our highays. Bill Clinton - whom I despise - passed highway traffic safety bills that were magnificent statecraft. I am quite sanguine about the quality of America's highways and biways - and our cars are a hundred times safer, thanks to the federal government's safety and efficiency standards that stupid repukes knee-jerk sniveled about.

That's it? You have nothing to **** about the state of our dams?

You are just going to ignore the evidence you requested?

This is what I expected of you, son. You're a little nothing poster - a fly-over chump. 

When someone gives ME evidence I implied does not exist, I acknowledge it. You panty-dance.

Highways are infrastructure. 

Auto manufacturers were putting in seat belts long before gov even discussed it.  GM did the first crash test in the 1930s, long before NHTSA.  Tucker put in the first padded dashboard right after world war 2.  This was a generation before government mandated it. Saab made a safety cage around the same time.  And on and on.

Yes, and ours are in fine fettle. They are an exception - as I already noted. Do you want something more? Do you want me to pretend that as go our highways, so goes all of our infratructure? So you want a coookie? What do you want me to say more about our highways?

Do you want me to explain to you WHY our highways are in such good shape? I warn you, Bill Clinton will get the credit. You're not going to like it. It's going to make your butt bleed. It's going to make your knee jerk. It's going to set you spinning like a top.

Yes, you can go on and on, son - and you will never, ever erase the fact that the nanny state is responsible for millions of lives saved on America's highways. Virtually every meaningful step taken to protect Americans from auto-fatalities has been taken by Democrats. And the Invisible Hand of the Market was busy in someone's pocket while they did it, kid.

We are behind in maintenance - much less in keeping up with chyna.

I WISH it were novel, fruitcake. It's endemic.

GM offered airbags long before gov mandates.  Volvo introduced child seats in the sixties, long before gov mandates.  Chrysler made disc brakes standard in the packages right after world war 2.  And on and on.

You keep prattling about things that were available to wealthy buyers, on a niche basis, as expensive accessories. 

That does nothing to refute that mandating these things has saved millions of children from being orphaned, fruitcake. In the matter of highway safety, the government has done excellent work under the aegis of the commerce clause - and in every case, democrats have been the primary movers, while repukes have drug their heels. 

But then, conservatives are SUPPOSED to slow the government's roll, and liberals are SUPPOSED to try to move things forard, make things better. 

Now that the national parties are reversed, it's democ rats sucking wall street's dick and repukes pining for the good old days when they were flush with wall street cash. The repukes still have not figured out an identity, so you have liz cheney and lindsey graham vs. Rand Paul and MGT. But the one thing they can ALL agree on is that israel's dick is delicious. 

I'll wager you're one of those jew cock girls, yeah?
