Obama Time to Rise With Infrastructure Package

Highway projects received just 3% of 2009’s stimulus package ($27 Billion of $787 billion). For years we’ve been hoping for a long term bill. In the 6 years Obama been in office no major progress has occurred in the nations transport infrastructure. Although Obama did say infrastructure investments help a stagnant economy and expand economic competitiveness.
