We just lost the major part of a medium size city last week. Heavy rains breached two dams that were built around 1925 or that era and have "been on the repair list" for 40 years. There has never been enough money to fix the dams, (probably 30-40 million) but now there's enough "emergency aid" (probably 300-400 million) to pay for the losses and fix the dam....

It's the same with the roads. When we bought our car last year, the dealerships are selling "wheel and tire replacement packages" similar to the extended warranty and interior/exterior protection packages. The purpose is to replace damaged wheels and tires from impact with potholes. The finance guy had a complete spiel about how expensive it is to replace a cracked wheel or a damaged tire from a pothole. "This program removes all that expense. Just bring the damaged wheel and/or tire in and we'll replace it no questions asked for the life of your protection package....

When you've got to buy "add on insurance" to replace wheels/tire damaged from potholes, well, there's a dire need to repair the roads...

Roads, dams, electrical grid, airports, railroads, irrigation systems, the list goes on and on....
