We need Investment in Infrastructure
There was a sludge spill in Tennessee recently. This happened because a power plant dike burst and flooded a neighborhood in Harrimann, Tennessee. The levees in New Orleans broke and flooded the entire city. There was a huge bridge collapse last year. We need to invest in our nation’s infrastructure. It is very important to do. We have not invested in our infrastructure in literally decades. It should not be left up to the states, the federal government needs to put money towards public works projects. Our economy is really bad right now and it would increase construction jobs in this country. President Elect Obama promised to invest in our infrastructure but the republicans may try to prevent it from happening. I do not know why people are so down about infrastructure investing. We need to keep up our country’s infrastructure because the nations bridges, pipes, and roads are in disrepair.
