Fixing the neccesary

Letters at 3AM: Where We Actually Live

Michael Ventura posts about the infrastructure of America and how it is crumbling. He writes,"Infrastructure has no politics. It either works or it doesn't. A nation that lets its infrastructure crumble will wake one fine day to find itself crippled." This was a finely written article. A bit lengthy with almost a full page of quotes, but these quotes are what helped to prove his point. The quotes are not of his opinions but of facts or remarks actually stated in the NewYork Times. Ventura has love for this country, and worries about it falling to its demise. He offers a solution to the problem. "Pay the unemployed to be trained for the work needed. Employ these trained cadres to get the physical structure of America back to a fully functioning level and keep it at that level. Turn an unemployed, frightened, angry population into a population doing work that is useful and desperately needed, making them wage-earners whose spending and taxpaying would revive this economy from the ground up."It sounds like reasonable solution to me. The constant focus on a seem to be never ending war that offers no pay back, worry and arguements of irrelevant issues that our polititians love to berrade us with. This article is geared toward an audience of people who have concern and love for this nation. Ventura points the finger at both Republicans AND Democrats. That is partly what makes the article seem so pure and good.
