I don't understand. Are states and municipalities forbidden from making investments in their own infrastructure? They did not build their water systems, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with Federal money.


What if the local municipal is too poor to take care of themselves? This is the old libertarian argument that "we don't need to pay for roads, free markets will build them" or you can look at Kansas that is totally broke because they cut taxes on the rich to appease their Koch brothers masters and now they are totally fucked.
