Does anyone think this will really do anything except spend more of our money in certain states.

Deaths also are disproportionately higher among nonwhite, lower-income people, who are more likely to take public transit and travel by foot or bike, as well as those in tribal and rural areas, where speeding can be common and seat belt use less frequent.

Even with just a quick skim of the article, 5 billion over 5 years for so many cities probably won't even scratch the surface of the presented problem.

Very few things .govt does solves ANY problems. They DO manage to create a bunch of them, though.

True. But it is enough to sift thru the fiscal cracks to "support" the pet projects of a mayor's wife or some select community leaders. But $40 billion to Ukraine?! Wtf.
