The thing is though, a bridge with large cracks in it hasn't fallen down. You can always reinforce it and then it doesn't fall down.
Same is true for the US. If the elected officials and their hired civil servants actually went around reinforcing the US then we're fine. If they continue to neglect the decaying roads, neglect the growing trusts, and etc then the bridge will collapse.
