1.4.5: Building
Out-Building the Rest of the World. Other Information:
We support long- term investments in our infrastructure. Roads, bridges, rail and public transit systems, airports, ports,
and sewers are all critical to economic growth, as they enable businesses to grow. That's why President Obama and Democrats
in Congress have enacted infrastructure investments that will sustain our Highway Trust Fund and provide states, U.S. territories,
and communities with two years of funding to build needed infrastructure. These investments are critical for putting Americans
back to work and strengthening America's transportation system to grow our economy. The President has proposed to go substantially
further, including a significant up-front investment in our infrastructure followed by sustained increases in investment paid
for with part of the savings from winding down our overseas wars, together with reforms that will better leverage government
dollars and target significant projects. We will continue to partner with local communities to support their sustainable development.
