Interstate 94

It’s finally summer vacation and my family is going to Wyoming. The car is packed, the dog is in the backseat, and the key is in the ignition; we are headed towards the interstate which we will use almost entirely to get us to our destination. The interstate is a very useful tool, however we didn’t always have the interstate. The government saw a need for this road, and decided to put the idea into action. Some challenges and benefits faced by the government when creating the highway system were

America has 5,540 deficient bridges alone, according to the American Society of Civil Engineers’ Infrastructure Report Card. Every four years, ASCE provides America with an assessment including recommendations, condition, and needs for the nation’s infrastructure. In a basic A-F format, the Report Card is graded in eight main categories: capacity, condition, funding, future need, operation and maintenance, public safety, resilience, and innovation. This report card, since 1998, has given the nation

At the end of every work week, I looked forward to cruising Interstate Twenty. Just me, the highway, and some banging tunes to listen to along the way. I really enjoyed the fact of not having to deal with the stressful environment my job created. Little did I know, this particular Friday night in November, danger lied ahead. It was an experience that I would never forget. It was another week completed of work, and it was my turn to punch out at the time machine. I quickly stamped my card and placed

The safety of our nation in all aspects should be our number one priority. When that safety is put into jeopardy in a careless way, the incident tends to be amplified to a high degree. This is what happened in researching the Federal Highway Administration along with Trinity Industries and what they were doing to put the safety of the drivers in the U.S. at risk. The Federal Highway Administration is an agency in the U.S. Department of Transportation that handles and oversees all state and local

To: Speaker of the House Paul Ryan From: Taylor Sanders, Making America Just Again Subject: Replacing the Electoral College with the popular vote Date: October 20, 2017 As Abraham Lincoln once said, "Government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth". With this is mind, I propose that the Electoral College should be removed and replaced with a popular vote system. Although some people defend the Electoral College because it has worked, generally, for hundreds

People in the American society have different opinions on the Electoral College in America. In my opinion I believe the Electoral college is “an embarrassment to America’s democracy” as it is said in the argumentative statement. The Americans voting system for presidency doesn’t allow individuals in the society vote to count towards the presidential nomination. Furthermore, individuals in the American society can even say that our vote is pointless because of the Electoral College, which is a group

Beginning at the time the Electoral College was put into place, many debated over its pros and cons. As time has gone on, more and more people have begun to show support for a change in the system (Saad 2013). After George W. Bush defeated AL Gore in the 2000 election by losing popular vote, but winning the college, leading to a “legal recount contest”, many began to question the fairness of the college (Cohen, 2010). This marked the “third time in the nation’s history” the less popular candidate

During the 2016 Presidential election, candidate Donald Trump lost the National popular vote to candidate Hillary Clinton by almost 3 million votes, but he still won the Presidential election by getting 304 Electoral College votes. (The Electoral College: Top 3… 1)The result of the 2016 Presidential election reflects a significant defect of the Electoral College System that the support from majority American population could not promise the presidency to a candidate. In fact, the it is not the first

America to jump-start the construction of our national freeway system. But it’s important to note that the planning for interstate construction in Minneapolis and St. Paul had started long before the funding was secured from the federal government. Starting as early as 1920, city engineers drafted plans for various highway routes, and by 1938, a federal interstate map traced a path for I-94 that would connect Chicago, Illinois; Madison, Wisconsin; the Twin
