Fixing America's Infrastructure

It looks like the government will continue to spend $3 billion a week on the war in Iraq, but will not be able to come up with the $65 billion it will take to fix the 70,000 bridges in the United States that have been deemed “structurally deficient.”

There is a very simple solution to this problem. I’m sure if Halliburton and KBR would open bridge building divisions that they would receive non-competitive contracts for fixing the bridges and the money would be “found.” This would take care of the needs of Mr. Bush and Mr. Cheney and friends. Nothing like sharing the spoils of disaster.
