We need to have our government "representatives" to get busy and replace our crumbling infrastructures!

In the 1940's, U.S. General Dwight D. Eisenhower found that moving troops and supplies across the U.S.A. took way to long. In those days, most roads were just two lanes. When he became President in the 1950's , he established what is now called the "Eisenhower Interstate System" . Unfortunately, all of these expressways are in really bad shape and need to be replaced. The U.S. Presidents and Congress keep putting off replacing these old infrastructures. This not only includes roads, but also water and electric infrastructures. How many people have to die from collapse before the American government gets off of their butts and start doing it? They could create rebuilding programs like the ones that U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt did with his "New Deal" policy in the 1940's.. The work would create thousands of new jobs. With new innovations, they could solve rebuilding the Expressway System by adding vertical windmills (called "Enlil Turbines") that are placed between lanes of traffic and generate clean electricity. The possibilities are endless! The American People (and other governments, too) need to get busy and get our "representatives" busy actually representing us. There is nothing that scares the old stale, inactive fossils in any government body than an informed and active electorate!
