    American infrastructure collapsing? How can this be possible? Politicians have only severely cut spending on infrastructure for a few dozens of years. No way that would ever have consequences.

      The politicians are just responding to what the voters want: More roads and lower taxes. Maintenance is really freakin’ expensive, Americans don’t want to pay for it, and we can get away with not paying for it for a while. You don’t get re-elected by promising higher taxes and more road maintenance work.
