I’m not so sure that Barry’s idea to throw money at the nation’s sagging infrastructure amounts to no more than one guy digging a hole and another guy filling it in, as some conservatives are suggesting. I see no reason to be that cynical yet.
I agree that it probably won’t do much for recovery from the recession. But there undoubtedly is work to be done–see Minnesota’s bridge disaster of 2007. Some of what the old CCC did survives today in such as state park facilities in Texas. There are going to be lots of ways to ridicule Barry’s presidency, but I don’t think this is going to be one of them.

UPDATE: Well, it turns out I’m a bit naive. Seems to be more about parks and sports centers than pot-holed roads and falling-apart bridges. It really wouldn’t be like pols to fix the obvious stuff since at best the only thing they could point to would be a little sign with their name on it. Feh!
