County roads. and potholes

This will probably get poofed but here goes. We probably have the worst roads in the U.S here in Alabama. They have been going around putting patches on the patches that patched the original hole. The bridge down the road is in BAD shape. You ask why this is allowed. No Money. We have one of the lowest tax bases in the country. I pay $100 a year in property taxes. I love the low taxes but there has to be some common sense here. They made US 157 four lane. It took them over ten yrs to finish the job. Most of the money came from the federal government. I keep hearing the call for lower federal taxes. If they ever cut them as much as you would like you will all be driving on the same kind of roads we have here. You can't have something for nothing people. Taxes pay for all of the highways in this country. If they cut federal taxes they will simply raise the state taxes to make up for the shortfall. If they don't then you will all be driving on rapidly falling apart highways. Think about how fast the highways in say Michigan fall apart during the winter. Now picture in the spring they tell you the county road dept is out of money till next year. That is what we have here.
Think about if the next time you hit a pothole and knock your front end alignment out of line.
