"Is that why all of the infrastructure in Ma is/and well on the way to looking like a third world country?" All states. Not only did Raygun prove D&D don't matter, he proved we didn't need to spend money on infrastructure, cuz what FDR and Ike built would last forever, while we partied. U.S. infrastructure — roads, bridges, rail, drinking water, waste water, solid waste and more—is close to flunking according to a recent assessment from the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE). ADVERTISEMENT Once every four years, America’s civil engineers assess the nation’s infrastructure with an A to F report card. The engineers grade eight major categories: capacity, condition, funding, future need, operation, maintenance, public safety, resilience and innovation. This year’s grade average of all eight categories is a modest improvement, but hardly one to cheer about—it’s a D+ compared to a D in 2009. The nation’s infrastructure GPA has averaged in the D’s since 1998 for delayed maintenance and underinvestment across most categories. ibtimes.com
