I see nothing in this man that makes me believe he is remotely capable of handling this job. But I hope he does well. If nothing else I think he'll finally get Congress engaged in rebuilding the infrastructure. We owe him a chance. Who he picks for his cabinet seats will tell us a lot. I don't think he is off to a good start - his EPA administrator (the person in charge of maintaining a clean environment) is on the payroll of industries that do the opposite. But I will not pre-judge. I'll wait and see what happens.

What has fallen down lately?

Folks use the Minneapolis 2007 bridge collapse as an example, but that was simply poor execution of properly engineered plans. If that's the best they have, then I call bull shit. I believe this talk is initiated by trade unions, and the Democrats who are in the union pocket.

The American Society of Civil Engineers rates the country's infrastructure grade a D+ with an investment estimate of over 3 trillion by 2020 to get it near an acceptable level.

You can see the breakdown of their score here:

And since you used to live down the road I know that you understand how shitty the drinking water is in Indianapolis - just as one example in a million.
