Former U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, appearing on 60 MINUTES, said that many of the roads and bridges we drive on every day are “on life support.” What’s more, nearly 70,000 bridges in the U.S. are deemed structurally 
deficient. “I don’t want to say they’re unsafe. But they’re dangerous,” said LaHood. “Our infrastructure’s on life support right now. That’s what we’re on,” LaHood is now co-chair of Building America Future, a bipartisan coalition of current and former elected officials seeking to increase spending on infrastructure. Congratulations Ray, you are a Rock Star!
