Infrastructure 101

Infrastructure 101, invest money to insure said country to operate as a viable entity vis a vis roads, buildings, mass transit etc, etc, etc, or perish, something not being done by the Trump Administration in any way, shape or fashion.

It’s basically the opposite of a major government infrastructure program.

Government spending on transportation and other public works is in decline as federal funding stagnates and state and local governments tighten their belts.

Such spending equaled 1.4 percent of the nation’s economic output in the second quarter of 2017, the lowest level on record, according to Census Bureau data.

In West Virginia, where President Trump on Thursday touted a vague $1 trillion infrastructure plan, public works spending has fallen for five straight years.

When the infrastructure of a country collapses, the country collapses. Ask the Romans about this or the Egyptians or the Greeks. History shows this to be true without question.

Last but not least, ask New Yorkers about their subway system circa 2017.

Any questions?
