So even if we used deficit spending, it will pay off. Think of it like you owned a business. If you knew you'd have to spend $1000 on your credit account, but got back $1500-$3000, you'd do it. #twittercongress

I think we should create a federal infrastructure bank that states could draw out of to fund the projects they felt were best for their needs.

.@DrMann4Congress, I’d like to be the first to second many of your ideas. The Army Corps is Engineers ranks our infrastructure at a D- level.

Each state’s Congressional delegation, alongside state and local leaders, should develop a prioritized list of projects. States should be allocated money based on individual infrastructure ranking and proportion of population

Our five year goal should be to raise our infrastructure rating from a D- to a C- over five years, and to a B- over ten.

But we can’t stop there. We must prioritize national transportation projects, including high speed rail, to ensure we are competitive globally to enable rapid, efficient transit in an increasingly global economy.

We must also protect our energy grid. We got proof this week that Russians have attempted to hack our grid. And it’s vulnerable. I’ve worked on initiatives to protect our grid, but we must do more.
