Why can’t these GOP lawmakers stop with their lame analogies? The pair of jeans being worn out and not automatically buying a new pair is ludicrous to compare with the public hazard of having substandard roads and bridges. Private household budgeting and debt management has nothing to do with public governance. Decaying infrastructure puts the brakes on economic growth and expansion. Companies will not locate their operating and manufacturing facilities in areas that require their own capital injection to make it viable for them to operate, it wouldn’t make any economic sense to them. Seen over time, the GOP economic playbook doesn’t bring us to a winning result it puts us on a huge losing streak. It doesn’t take a lot of common sense to see that letting everything go to pot simply isn’t the answer.

I call it slumlord politics. I agree with you about the GOP analogies. They are intended to be pejorative, not valid.
