Regarding INfrastructure
-4 out of 5 bridges in this country are deemed unsafe but still in operation.
-We had a rail incident in East Palestine recently which was due in part to overburdened rail lines.
- We have an energy grid that is localized and not able to transfer electricity nationally...and also insuffcient for upcoming demand from AI and EV.
-Our ports are not able to handle spikes in demand as proven after the economy opened post COVID.
-people are reluctant to buy EV vehicles because the infrastructure is not in place to support their charging.
-People who live in rural areas suffer from a lack of internet access due to lack of broadband
-Airports are overburdened with too much traffic and not enough gates to serve it.
Addressing these issues is not a vanity project. These problems impact our economy. Every president so far this century ran their platform on addressing some of these or all of them. Bush, Obama, Trump....and Biden.
Biden did it. And he needed 60 votes to get it done with only 50 Senators from his party comprising the Senate. Guarnatee you Harris or Trump wont get 60 votes for anything.
I appreciate the answers guys. That was an honest question. And very thorough answers.
I just assumed all Presidents would get this done. Guess not.
