The Corrosion of America

In the United States underground sewage and water pipes are corroding and bursting every several minutes. These pipes are simply not getting the maintenance they should be getting because of our trembling economy. Which is not fair to the American people who are receiving polluted water from their faucets.

“For decades, these systems — some built around the time of the Civil War — have been ignored by politicians and residents accustomed to paying almost nothing for water delivery and sewage removal. And so each year, hundreds of thousands of ruptures damage streets and homes and cause dangerous pollutants to seep into drinking water supplies.”

If we can somehow come up with the finances to give new jobs to people to work on our nations water systems, it can give thousands of unemployed people living in America jobs. The funds we are throwing away to fight over in the middle east is the main cause our nation is struggling financially.
