I was thinking . . .

The majority of our roads are so bad . . . and we want to rebuild our infrastructure . . . and we want to spark a boost in our economy . . .

Maybe instead of patching and fixing our roadways, we should start from scratch - tear up all the streets and put in new pavement. This time use a method similar to how the German Autobahn is constructed AND not use the low bid system, but use the HIGH QUALITY system!

It's interesting how my thought just happened to coincide with this weeks Parade Magazine.

There is such a proliferation of potholes this year, many of them the result of last years attempt to patch them - unsuccessfully!

Patching isn't working! Let's just tear it up and start over. We will have better roads and people will be put to work, boosting the economy.

I rest my case.
