There’s $550 billion worth of infrastructure repairs needed
in this country.
The things that were built during the Depression, as part of
the spending that ended the Depression, are falling apart.
It will take years to do all of the work and it will mean
money spent on supplies and planning, construction workers and management. Money that will then be spent on food and
clothes and rent and cars and gas and taxes – billions pumped back into the
economy and the treasury to strengthen the country and lower the deficit.
We can either let the country disintegrate, with one bridge
or highway collapsing after another, or we can spend money, put people back to
work and fix things to build a legacy that will last another 80 years.
