Tom,
Did you ever notice that most of the big urban areas, with the big
breaking water mains and such (and troubling schools, and pot hole
filled roads) are not run by your pet bogeymen, the cons/neocons, but
mostly by liberals / political machine Democrats? Could it be that
pandering to unions and appeasing every interest group in site has not
worked?

telling me you are not?
I think the cons/neocons describe this as passing debts on to future
generations. Past generations built the infrastructure. Then the
cons/neocons got control and screamed "no taxes -- I want to be free"
(probably because they were hippies in their youth). Then the bridges
started to fall down, the water mains broke, and the power grid
failed.
Now guess who has to pay the debt: it is us.
