We have levies breaching, roads cracking, and bridges crumbling but hey thats ok as long as the Exxon Ex-CEO gets his $400 million pay package. Pfft. It needs to be nationalized and as far as Im concerned there is no debate.

Roads, bridges, and damns the government should be taking care of. Obviously the government in its current state cant handle much but that is because their hands are in to many pies.

The federal government shouldnt up keep the roads and bridges let me ask you a question if we are attacked who is going to use those roads and bridges? The federal military thats who. Its in the governments interests to have updated roads and bridges so they need to handle it.

Funding the infrastructure is done now without nationalization. There is no reason to nationalize; every goal can be achieved without natonalization.
Except: Wealth Re-distribution. But that should not be a goal, unless you are looking to make this country a socialist nation.
