Economics of A Crumbling Infrastructure

Repairing and upgrading our infrastructure is a time tested and proven method to turn around an economic recession or depression. The reason that it works is, it provides jobs with a long enough duration to both boost and substain the economy while workers are being retrained to meet the current and future job demands. House Minority Leader John Boehner objected to President Obama's infrastructure plans because he knows that it will work and he does not want the Democrats to get credit for cleaning up the mess left by the Bush administration.
