Even the History Channel put the Crumbling of America on again...
The most rah rah American channel on the cable this side of Fox News ran their two hour look at all how the bridges, damns, sewers, water supply and the electrical grid are all this close to third world status.

They did what they do best, scare the shit out of people. Only this time the threat isn't satanic but real and potentially deadly for people in every part of the country.

We should all be demanding that we repair and update the US infrastructure before more disasters happen.

It would be the best investment we can make.

And if we don't, well, the future doesn't look so good.

They should run that show every week.

4. They have aired this one many times.
It's as if they view it as a PSA. Yes, the main point is that lack of funding for repairs is the chief cause. Everybody in this country, especially the "Starve the beast" crowd, should be required to see it.
