Put our soldiers and unemployed Americans back to work by re-building this countries infrastructure.
All around our country the most basic levels of infrastructure are decaying. Everything from bridges and dams to the water out of the tap.
Millions are wasted every year sending our citizens into harms way. Sending them to areas of the world where our presence exacerbates the reasons were there.
Over 50% of the country's infrastructure is over half its life expectancy
To do's:
Redesigning projects to maximize their performance life. 100+ years
Roads and bridges need to last without constant upkeep.
Integrated systems that tell us what needs to be fixed/replaced.
Cheaper, Safer forms of energy
This is the only way America can stay a power in the world...
