The main problem is how new infrastructure is funded which is from a mixture of mostly the state and federal government and a small amount from the town/city which promotes a car-centric spread out suburban environment which puts city services in a rural environment with rural tax incomes promoting the city growth ponzi scheme which expects near constant economic growth while making taxpayers foot the bill whenever growth tumbles and cities go into decline. If the USA didn't build a car-centric urban environment with city services in a rural style suburban landscape since the 1930s-1950s then America wouldn't need a US$1.2trillion infrastructure bailout plan that was caused by the same 2 political parties over 5 decades ago and in some cases even the same politicians...

If they could properly manage the projects, the bill could be half the cost with better results. I've seen perfectly good roads torn up and repaved while potholes on other roads are ignored (despite being maintained by the same entity). I've seen new roads put down only to be immediately torn up because they want to work on the power, gas, or water under the road. And the patchwork they do after is terrible. In general though, I haven't felt the effects of the supposed bad infrastructure other than an occasional pothole. My power never goes out, the highways are in good shape (except when they are under construction), etc.

So I think this budget shouldn't have being destinated to mantain the actual model, but to make it a lot more economically and embirormentaly eficient .

1.2 Trillion actually falls short of what is really needed. The American Society of Civil Engineers do an annual report card on condition of our infrastructure and costs to repair or replace. It was over 4 Trillion a decade ago. Current amount is a start, we can pass additional spending bills in future.

$1.2 Trillion for “Infrastructure.” We’ll be lucky if 1/4 of that goes to infrastructure at all.
