1. There is no lack of infrastructure spending and it isn't that we don't pay enough taxes. There is a lot of money spent on the wrong pet projects such as light rail. A recent study showed that in Minnesota you could buy every regular commuter who rides light rail a new Prius every year for the next 20 years for what is spent on light rail.
2. As I travel, I always wonder how we would even get around if more roads and bridges were being worked on. You can only detour so much. All these detours do have a direct effect on costs and timelines.
