We must invest heavily in new infrastructure for our country. We need to fix dilapitated bridges, crumbling sewer lines, old gas lines, etc. Not only is this "preventive action", but it will create thousands of jobs.
Why is this important?
I remember when the I-35 bridge in Minnesota collapsed, killing 13 people. Minnesota is my state of origin, and I had driven over this bridge a number of times. Our country used to be #1 in infrastructure - no longer. If we put our federal dollars toward new infrastructure, it will prevent future tragedies, and also create many new jobs.
