Investing in Infrastructure

On the plane ride out to Portland, I listened to a podcast about future transportation options in Ohio. They discussed expanding passenger rail, freight rail, bike trails, as well as roads.

One thing they mentioned really stuck out and shows the glaring need for investment in our infrastructure.

China and India spend about 9% of their GDP on infrastructure needs while the US spends about 1%.

That just demonstrates why we lack public transit and our roads and bridges are deteriorating.
