Yeah look at our infrastructure and it was massively built from the new deal onward through the silent generation and then in the 80's hit the breaks nationally. the best stuff we have had since is from liberal states and cities.
I'm european, so I have a slightly different view on who is responsible for this, but as a whole it's the same result for us as for you americans when it come to infrastructure. For example our railway networks, which are only maintained at the lowest possible level that the companys can get away with. And I don't want to even talk about thing like streets, bridges, parks and other public infrastructure. Or that more and more youth centres and other such things are closed by the same politicians that then can't shut up about that the youth has to hang around in the streets.
