You could have a jobs program that builds infrastructure instead.
That's where we got a whole lot of dams in the American West!
Last that I checked, you guys could use some more trains.
We have way more rail than the rest of the world. More than China, Russia, and the EU. We have almost 20% of the world’s total rail. But we prioritize freight instead of passenger service.
