in the old confederacy.

I often tell people that Iowa is really envious and wants to be the new Mississippi. Old Miss is #48. We can get there with a little more Republican leadership.

Surprised to see us at only #23 in infrastructure. Well, as the Trumpist party continues to starve the cities we should drop fast. Smaller towns especially where they can barely afford to patch the potholes.
