Biden says “infrastructure” and Washington reacts like he proposed witchcraft. Bridges are crumbling, roads patched like a bad quilt, broadband nonexistent in half the country. Yet the debate isn’t about fixing anything. It’s about who gets credit and which donors get fat.
America loves ribbon cuttings but hates the actual work. Everyone agrees we need bridges until someone mentions paying for them. Then the screaming starts. Call it Infrastructure Week, Season Two. Spoiler: same plot, no ending.
