I'm looking forward to the $700 billion to $1 trillion we'll be
spending on infrastructure and other improvements.


I wish I shared your confidence and enthusiasm.

I see the very real probability of a trillion dollars worth of
over-budget, behind schedule major projects, laced with bribes,
corruption and kickbacks.

Well, we have been neglecting our infrastructure. Properly managed, this
program could kill two birds, kick starting the economy, and, bringing
our roads, bridges, and schools, up to snuff. I don't know about you,
but I find collapsing bridges down right embarrassing. ;-)

Not properly managed, well, that would be pretty much business as usual.
I have considerable hope Obama can properly manage.
