DOT builds bridges, DOD drops bombs and blows them up... ...but the mindless bureacrats at DOT can't be blamed. They can't build a bridge unless the politicians give them the money. Our crumbling infrastructure is due to federal and state governments that have totally failed us. You can't pay for adequate bridge maintenance or new bridges when every penny is being allocated to Medicaid, TANF, Food Stamps, never-ending wars we refuse to win, and paying off the massive debt that we've accumulated by playing Santa Claus to every loser with a sob-story.
