Well, you go to France and see if France has as much infrastructure to maintain as The United State of America. I haven't been there but I know they don't have nearly as much to maintain as us. Dude, you keep comparing an Apple to an Orange and you keep saying the two are or should be viewed as the same. I keep telling you or reminding you that they're not the same and shouldn't be viewed that way.  Do you have anything other than lame brain arguments to approach me with? If you don't, find someone else to approach with them like your friends.

France has 1/5 of the US population, yet has the TGV, a 150 MPH train system, three car companies,  great food and great healthcare ... to name a few things out of many.

As far as the government, the government has to do a better job managing and prioritizing its spending and remembering who there supposed to serve and whose money their using to pay the bills. As far as policy, the policy makers should know the country they're living in and the primary interests of their countrymen and should stay in line with their those of their countrymen and stick to American principle vs stray off on their own endeavors and imposing their own rules and threatening people like we are seeing today.

Point by point:

• The rich are getting rich by taking all the economic gains, also known as capitalism, and shifting taxation to everyone else.  In short, they really are doing what Republicans claim welfare recipients are doing.
• Politicians prioritize everything on who supports them, and your vote isn't much in the support department. In short, bring money ... lots of it!
• Politicians are all self serving to some extent.  Trump has taken that to the greatest extreme ever.  Direct your ire there!
