The US has lots of infrastructure that needs repair or replacement, but there are very few areas that do not have clean water, or reliable electricity (Sans extreme weather which causes disruptions in every country), and roads and bridges are all safe to drive on (when was the last time you read about a bridge that collapsed from lack of maintenance?)

>reliable electricity (Sans extreme weather which causes disruptions in every country)

>roads and bridges are all safe to drive on (when was the last time you read about a bridge that collapsed from lack of maintenance?)

2022, when the President was in town in Pittsburg and the bridge there collapsed.
