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.
