The economy is not the only thing crumbling around President Bush. After years of near neglect, so is the nation's infrastructure.
He admitted Monday in his State of the Union address that there is "real concern" about the economy. But just as he did in his economic stimulus proposals, he made no mention of the nation's deteriorating roads, bridges, dams, water and sewer systems.
Ed Wytkind, president of AFL-CIO Transportation Trades Department ( TTD), says Bush once again:
failed to provide leadership regarding our nation's crumbling transportation infrastructure, for the eighth time in a row.The Minneapolis bridge collapse in August was a horrific and vivid example of our infrastructure's state of disrepair. How many bridges have to fall down before we make our transportation infrastructure a priority?
