Note here, that investing in infrastructure in many cases does nothing. Building a new road to nowhere or empty buildings is a net economic loss. We should be opening up bottlenecks, looking to where things aren't done because they are too hard and too slow, and make them easy and fast. Infrastructure investment shouldn't ever be a jobs program.
