A question for Cotton and the war mongers.

You want to spend trillions in yet another misguided clusterfuck in the middle east.

What is the goptp solution to our crumbling infrastructure?

We in SoCal may save water yet one 100 year old main break wastes it all.

What is the plan?

U.S. has 61,000 structurally deficient bridges—and highway funding is about to run out

The 250 most heavily crossed structurally deficient bridges are on urban interstate highways, particularly in California. Nearly 87 percent of these bridges were built before 1970.

Pennsylvania (5,050), Iowa (5,022), Oklahoma (4,216), Missouri (3,310), Nebraska (2,654), California (2,501), Kansas (2,416), Mississippi (2,275), Illinois (2,216) and North Carolina (2,199) have the highest numbers of structurally deficient bridges. The District of Columbia (14), Nevada (34), Delaware (48), Hawaii (61), and Utah (102) have the least.

At least 15 percent of the bridges in eight states—Rhode Island (23 percent), Pennsylvania (22 percent), Iowa (21 percent), South Dakota (20 percent), Oklahoma (18 percent), Nebraska (17 percent), North Dakota (16 percent) and Maine (15 percent)—fall in the structurally deficient category.

For the Uber Conservatives, they may be focused on doing whatever it takes to bring about the End Times and the Second Coming of Christ. Why worry about the infrastructure if they believe that we won't be around that much longer anyway. If they were really concerned about this country they wouldn't allow companies to blow through millions of gallons of water for the purpose of fracking when so many states are in deep droughts and at risk for running out of water.

For the MIC, is it all about keeping the world in a perpetual state of war to generate profits.

that the Uber Conservatives are really on their side. The only interest that they really have with the Jews is the role they think the Jews play with the End Times. And the Uber Conservatives are crazy if they think that the Jews will convert to Christianity.

there's also the mormons constantly converting deceased Jews to mormonism including their entire families, like that's actually a conversion. What these clowns believe is that all these posthumous conversion need to be done because they just know that they really wanted to be morons, I mean mormons. The have an entire institution dedicated to these posthumous conversions... so the Jews can be saved from...?


They were told to stop it and they said they would but that lasted for a whole couple weeks. Crazy.

Those old boys are focused on EMPIRE. That their home is falling apart and their people are going without is of no earthly concern to them.
