Most of that money is going into personal accounts of either the politicians or the head of whatever company is hired to do the job.
 
Are infrastructure sucks. We know it, and foreign visitors comment on it, because they never expected this great country to look like sheet.

Craps just going to start falling down. There are places in our country were it's like living in the fifties, no internet, no cable, and Sally's dinner on the corner. No jobs there, so, I guess it's not worth it, but man, it's 2021. We really should catch up with the rest of the world.

This is true, and the reason we voted Trump out.

Governments can't even do relatively simple things like provide roads that aren't full of potholes.

You can drive around potholes. You can't turn the lights on when the power is out. Right, Texas? ;)

So . . . . . you are, in effect, saying that the other 49 states have even more political corruption than Illinois. Because as far as infrastructure, they seem to be doing the best job.

Agreed. Whether Democrat or Republican, government can't do anything right.

Ahhh, now the truth comes out. You want no government at all!

Tell me, person with the sexist username. How's minarchism working out for Somalia? Maybe Afghanistan can tell us all about it once we pull out.

I've been defending my political views for decades, and I'm happy to debate anyone with half a brain. Unfortunately, that leaves you out.

So you have no evidence of political corruption in the state that reportedly has the best infrastructure or know anything about the current road conditions.

Good thing true Chicagoans don't waste time with a car when going downtown. We just take the train.

It might help if you actually funded it properly but that would mean the top end being taxed so that's not going to happen.
