American bridges first

Highways and bridges all over the United States are in desperate need of repair. Where could we get the monumental amount of money it will take to bring our roads into the superb condition we’d all like to see? How about suspending all foreign aid until that can be accomplished? Taxpayers deserve better roads and foreign countries might appreciate the old USA a little more without our handouts for a few years. Just a thought.
