Personal Infrastructure 

We typically think of roads and bridges as infrastructure. So long as potholes are filled and bridges are safe, we take infrastructure for granted because our real goal is the journey, not the road. This is Public Infrastructure which also includes other large undertakings such as national defense, elections, power grids, etc. Less appreciated is Personal Infrastructure, everything we all need to set us up for our enjoyable and productive journeys through life. Our most important Personal infrastructure is health and education. Also are all the little tasks necessary to support our journey such as shopping, servicing cars, paying taxes, cleaning the house--endless.
Sentence
We assume government pays for public infrastructure from roads and bridges to national defense, with private financing for our capitalist development. Political disputes, however, rage over who pays for the basics of Personal Infrastructure, individual health and education.
