I am constantly amazed that we of the richest nation on earth are so obsessed with freebies that we will let highways, railroads and sidewalks deteriorate rather than practice good maintenance of the world we live in. After all the tax cuts for big business and the rich, maybe we should go back to letting them help us all have a better place to live.

Don't you just love those "tax & spend" Democrats who don't bother to pay their own taxes ?

If the Feds put my grandchildren and their grandchildren in debt could we please just get the Yadkin River Bridge, a Federal interstate highway bridge, a little drop of the dough? This bridge is a North Carolina nightmare. The replaced Manteo bridge was not ever or could have been more important to commerce than the interstate two lane bridge that is crumbling down. Feds are you listening? I know you need a new bridge to Buzzards Bay but my great-greatgrands and beyond need to pay for the greed of Wall Street and may still be left with danger.Christine
