We are not "First"

Except maybe in murders!  I just saw on the news that USA is number 25!!! in infrastructure: roads, bridges, communication and public transportation!  How in the heck does this happen? Where we are tied with what used to be Czechoslovakia!  Infrastructure creates immediate employment and future
investment from the Private Sector.  It is the single best place to spend money, every dollar spent on infrastructure doubles to two dollars in the economy, and, as we all know, wherever there is an intersection, there will be a Walmart!  In the '50's, '60's and '70's we used to spend 5% of GPA on Infrastructure and now that has been reduced to less than 2%.  Whose brilliant idea was this?
I swear it should be illegal to be a Congressman unless you have passed a basic economic course.
We need Russia to fly us to the Space Station, the Chinese make our Train engines, all of our electronics are imported and we are just allowing the country to fall apart!  Full Steam Ahead,
Backwards!  It is not amazing that we lost our AAA credit rating, with Congress not being able to solve a single issue we will soon lose our Double AA Credit rating!  Can't even pass a Violence Against Women Act!
   The Republicans were against raising the minimum wage to the current measly $7.25 an hour and will certainly object to raising it to $9. an hour.  They should get such wages!
