Google responds, or am I getting it

While I am finding the new Google format extremely troublesome, and the instructions misleading, there seems to have been some tweaks by them in response to complaints. This post is really a test, and we'll see what happens. Finally recovering from a trip through the grueling infrastructure of the Northeast road corridor on a busy day, and my agitated reaction to it, my wits may be able to write. Can Congress ever pass a bipartisan bill to begin to upgrade U.S. infrastructure. Are the Republicans afraid that Obama and the Democrats will get credit for creating jobs. Can you imagine a tourist coming into New York, especially LaGuardia which is undeniably the worst airport in the developed world, being lucky enough to not have their luggage stolen, renting a car, and then heading south to spend over two hours on a seven mile stretch of the potholded, no exit, Cross Bronx Expressway. Then on to the chaotic New Jersey turnpike, through the multiple toll booths and related back-ups in Delaware, before heading into the D.C. area with inadequate signage for someone unfamiliar with the area. The U.S. is arguably the most prosperous country in the world, but France, Germany, Italy, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, and other countries like these, some with some serious problems, are pristine and inviting compared to the gateway to the U.S. for most visitors. It is a national embarrassment. It of course is also a major headache for our own citizens. Sometimes one can get lucky, and roads can be less packed. One can choose to start out their trips from NYC at 5am and probably avoid the chaos. Still, it is really essential that across the U.S. infrastructure development and repair in highways, bridges, dams, levees, and tunnels begin with abandon now. What starts now will take years to complete, and will create a job boom that will be welcome and needed. Bonds to support these projects can be accessible because they are in a sense collateralized, unlike just borrowing for general purposes from the Chinese. Doesn't this make sense. Can a dysfunctional, increasingly dysfunctional, Congress possibly have enough smart and apolitical members to understand this?
