Re: U.S. Infrastructure

Ok Paul I am going to post, since no one else seems to feel the need to share thoughts or ideas. I would like to however change it up just a smidge. I would like to play the role of Economic Minister with 100 billion at my disposal. I realize this would only scratch the surface but lets use this number none the less.

1. 5 for improvement to existing roadways, we have enough and I see no need to create more "dead zones", land cut into pieces by roads they are unsuitable for animal habitat.

2. 5 also, for maintainance and development for centralized usage ie: freight, rail, water and air.

3. 8 for upkeep and upgrades for existing systems.

4. 15 as this is the future of our society as I see it. R&D, liberal grants to private citizens with proven technologies for development purposes.

5. 8 for upgrades  to facilitate more efficient means of transmission.

6. 5 for efficient distribution and centralized storage facilities.

7. 15 to protect and maintain water quality.

8. 8 for R&D to develop sustainable waste utilization programs.

9. 5 for improvement and accessabilty.

10. 5 for upkeep for existing buildings and monies diverted for ecobergs.

11. 10 for free health care system for citizens and upkeep.

12. 10 for public education and programs.

13. 1 for me to pay lobbyists to create and perpetuate an oil based empire so that I may reap the benefits for generations to come!

You do realize this is off the cuff and measures roughly how I feel about different issues at hand.
