Most dams have a life span of fifty to sixty years and most are older than that. Bridges are in bad shape. So many things should be done but the money keeps getting siphoned off to other projects like tax cuts, the wall ,private prisons, golf, rallies. Soon to be space force. We are getting screwed out of necessary improvements in our country and our quality of life.
