I haven't heard anyone address the subject of this story.
Fixing roads and revamping rail roads isnt going to fix our problems today.
We need to get govt out of the way, reduce our cost structures, fix the tax code, and get investment incentives back into manufacturing/R&D. We need to employ the US worker back into the economy. We need to relearn how to build " insane stuff" again so we can all consume and export to other global consumers.
We need .... "Made in the USA".

That won't happen w/o tarriffs and protectionism. The global financial elite won't let that happen. It's bad for their bottom line.

When President Obama said that we succeed in America “because of our individual initiative but also because we do things together,” he was actually speaking in more general terms — about manufacturing companies that ship their goods on our railways and highways and thus indirectly benefit from that public infrastructure. With a net worth of up to $3.2 million and ranking as the 124th richest member of Congress, Paul Ryan very directly and very significantly benefited from the federal spending he now rails against.
