CRUMBLING INFRASTRUCTURE NOT A BIG DEAL WHEN IT’S DEMOCRATS WHO ARE IGNORING THE PROBLEM: Infrastructure Hypocrisy in NYC.

Americans are not wrong to worry about their nation’s aging infrastructure. Those crumbling “roads and bridges” that President Barack Obama has been going on about for precisely as long as Republicans have been in control of the appropriations process is, however, only half the story – and the most visible half, at that. Underground, another tale of decrepit infrastructure has been circulating, particularly among New York City residents, for decades. It is the story of near apocalyptic disaster; one which has been in the making for nearly a century. There’s a reason why you do not hear nearly as many national Democrats pointing politically charged fingers in the direction of their fellow party members in the highest echelons of city government. Theirs is a mess the national party would much rather ignore.

I think the goal is to let things get so bad they can demand a federal bailout.
