This is one unfortunate side effect of allowing almost all of your country’s critical equipment, materials and components to be manufactured by your nation’s adversaries and enemies.

We can thank Obama for this. The gift that keeps on giving.

You want to destroy China just cut off the oil and switch our offshore manufacturing contracts elsewhere, they’d fall within a decade.

One more key dam collapse would also do it.

Need to harden the grid. The Chinese will hit us with EMP weapons.

The US needs to build an inventory of the necessary replacement materials to bring the grid back up without relying on China to manufacture what the US requires.

The grid needs more stand alone capabilities as well.

The money wasted on the Ukrainian war could have hardened the grid by now.

All the fraud, waste, and abuse monies could have been used as well.

Some evil groups want the US crushed.

Lest we forget these criminals wholeheartedly passed the Infrastructure Investment & Jobs Act, aka the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law while patting themselves on the back and laughing their combined asses off at you all the way to the bank, to the tune of $1.2 trillion in 2021.

A rough estimate too secure the national grid starts at a trillion dollar tab.

I ask did absolutely anything on this list get touched under Obama 3.0?

quote:

$110B. for Hwys, roads, & bridges.

$66B. for passenger & freight rail.

$65B. for broadband expansion.

$65B. clean energy & grid upgrades.

$55B. for clean water initiatives & replacing lead pipes.

$39B. for public transit.


They promised 500,000+ electric charging ports installed across the country, 5 years later less than 400 were ever installed.

Obama hasn't been president in 10 years man. Donald Trump has been president for 6 of those last 10. Are you telling me that he failed to clean up Obama's mess?

Yes, a bit wrong. Well, some need to “rough it” for a little bit and build character.

But my wife is due with twins next week so we need as many comforts as possible lol.

Seems like it's an imminent threat.
If there has been a ~$1T budget and there is going to possibly be a $1.5T budget, why has that not been considered THE preeminent threat?
