One of the things we all rely on but which might not be as reliable as it should be is the infrastructure on which our transportation rests.
It is a bipartisan issue that impacts everyone in many ways.
It certainly has more payoff than a useless wall on the border.
We don't actually ignore infrastructure, as anyone who has been stuck in traffic due to a work zone, but we aren't fixing it or building new infrastructure fast enough.
The problem is simply money.
The last time the federal excise tax on gasoline was increased was 1993. It has been 18.4 cents a gallon and while not one wants to increase the cost of gasoline, it might be needed after 25 years.
Less potholes or a wall on the southern border.
I know what I would prefer.
