So it isn't happening then.

You sell it in the form of mid-sized projects at the state/local levels.

What makes you think that state/local Rs are any more willing to spend money?

Hell, fuck national politics entirely.

Here's the problem: state and local governments do not have the same access to funds as the feds.

If you're going to rebuild the country waiting for fed grants/funding

You have no idea how transportation funding works in this country, do you?

Also, just sort of a macro issue for you. State and local governments will invest in their own infrastructure where Dems are in control. (They don't really need you for that). They will not where the Rs are in control. Without federal involvement, how is that going to create any jobs in red states?
