I thought we already “invested” in the infrastructure under the Obammie “stimulus” program. I’m really not sure that Americans are all that excited about putting up with even more orange signs, barrels, cones and people leaning on shovels than we already have to put up with now. I spent an hour and twenty five minutes at a “30 minute delay” construction site the other day waiting for the “pilot car”. As we were taken through the construction site, all I saw was two little orange street sweepers and a bunch of guys with hardhats on leaning on shovels, brooms and the back of a bunch of new pickup trucks. What a joke.
A lot of those contracts went to foreign companies like Skanska.
