This past summer I learned that the United States has 76,000 structurally deficient bridges. Not only do our bridges suck, but everything that makes up our infrastructure sucks. According to the American Society of Civil Engineers, we get a grade of D on our infrastructure report card. The worst aspects are drinking water, inland waterways, levees, roads, and wastewater, all scoring a D-. Our best? Solid waste! C+.

Wow. That's depressing. I'll remember that when I drive over any bridges.
