…..the ARRA has failed and they are back at the crack dealer for more. The failure to distinguish the two and understand basic economics and accounting is why this country is where it is today.

Infrastructure in itself has many sub categories. There are highways, water supplies, sewer systems and the information/energy grid. The biggest ROI will come from investing in the information/energy grid. Unfortunately, that is where the least amount of money will go.

Another drawback on the traditional infrastructure is that very little of it will create growth since we are already built out, however it needs to be done. Today there is a 2.2 trillion dollar shortfall in highway funds alone.

The one place where infrastructure will create long-term ROI and growth is high speed rail. They are woking on that but again, not enough.
Gotta get outside, it's 70 and clear. Peace out
