Meanwhile, over 40 years of democratic leadership has diverted funds to art projects, bike lanes and incentives for Silicon Valley tech companies to headquarter herepic.twitter.com/iPvztb8O91

      Pennsylvanians pay some of the highest gas taxes in the country, almost $1 a gallon, supposedly to support infrastructure. The infrastructure routinely ranks at the bottom of the country. Before anyone blames it on salt and cold weather, some of the best roads are in South Dakota

      In 2012, Obama announce a huge infrastructure plan and “shovel ready jobs.” Pittsburgh was granted millions of dollars in funds. Instead of repairing bridges, they spent over $500 million to build 25 miles worth of light rail to carry people to Steelers games for free.

      Replying to @libertyismetal

      You made a false claim. The normal thing to do when that's pointed out is to delete the tweet and correct the claim.
