Massive jobs program, fix the infrastructure in this country, upgrade the power and internet backbone of every town in this country and take every coal miner and employ them in building a tower of babel straight to heaven in West Virginia.

Louisiana would be maybe worse than MS if not for New Orleans and to a far lesser extent Baton Rouge. Also LA just elected a Dem Governor, admittedly a not great centrist Dem but significantly better than Jindal.

Even worse than nothing, another bridge or two has collapsed since then. Exactly what we thought would happen is occuring and our response is...to cut taxes on corporations and the rich? Truly no country has yearned to have the rich purged by guillotine quite like America.

It really needs to happen. The lead pipe problem and antiquity of the power grid alone are terrifying enough that it should be the Dems' platform. That's before you get to the crumbling roads and bridges

There will be more Flints, another bridge collapse, another grid failure like 2003, etc. We keep applying bandaids because of what you said, but it's like ignoring a cavity until you end up with an abcess, and that's coming for the entire eastern half of the country

It is amazing that we're sitting here just hoping against hope someone will be elected to the senate who is not a child molester and who hasn't been kicked out of his job as a judge for being insane a couple of times. ... Ok now go back to feeling something positive if this comes through.
