My state saw an interstate bridge fall into the Mississippi river, killing quite a few people. You would think improvements to our aging infrastructure would be a better spending choice than a racist wall, but I guess everyone has their own priority on where spending is most effective...
If the USA were to spend its money more wisely, we wouldn't be in this situation. I don't see why we need to spend more on our military than any other country, including the next three highest spenders (including Russia and China) combined.
Also, maybe we should stop paying legislators who show an inability to compromise. That would be enough to inspect a few bridges, at least.
