Mr. President. there is a general feeling that somehow we could shift for ourselves. somehow. these demographic changes. As. for example. in New York. where we had a shift in New York City alone in a period of one decade of about 3 million people. 3 million left who were perfectly good taxpayers and solid citizens. and 3 million came in who needed enormous assistance from government in order to get along until they. too. like my own forebears. who were first generation immigrants. could get on to the life and promise America means. In my native city. for example. streets and sewers and water systems. all kinds of infrastructure. are literally a time bomb. so behind are we in terms of maintenance. In many cases. what needed to be maintained every 20 to 30 years has not been maintained for 100 to 200 years.
