In another brazen example of government overreach, the Biden administration recently released a report on America's infrastructure.
Via The Oklahoman_:
The White House on Monday issued a state-by-state breakdown of infrastructure needs as President Joe Biden advocates for his $2.3 trillion infrastructure package to improve America's roads, bridges, high-speed broadband networks and housing affordability.
Similar to the picture the reports paint of the nation's infrastructure, the Oklahoma-specific report gives the impression of a state with years of deferred or delayed infrastructure improvements.
I took a look at the Oklahoma-specific report, and it had your typical list of Oklahoma-specific needs, such as...
Among other things, it stated that Oklahoma has 1,004 miles of highway rated in poor condition. 1,004 miles is enough to cross the state in the middle, East to West, about three times. It also said that 2,326 bridges are rated as poor, which feels like – I don't know – ALL of them? But the report goes on to state this does not include 16,000 bridges on Oklahoma's city and county roadways. These fall under the government's “Sucks To Be You” doctrine and will be paid for on the local dime. MAPS 6, anyone?
