Every state in the union is covered with pockmarked roads, unsafe and even collapsing bridges, and is suffering from a dearth of funds to correct the problem. The Trump administration talked about infrastructure early on, but soon lost interest in pursing any meaningful plan as various problems and controversies overtook and consumed it during the 45th president's tenure in office. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and the economic downturn it precipitated, the newly minted Biden administration finds itself eyeing a significant infrastructure bill as a solid way to inject some lifeblood into our flagging economy-and one measure that actually has a decent chance at gaining some bipartisan support from Republicans to boot. |
