Quoted By:

You have been tasked with the enormous challenge of rebuilding American infrastructure.

You are given a reasonable (but not unlimited) amount of funding and have broad discretionary powers regarding hiring, project management and so forth.

What gets done first? how would you remedy what most experts agree is a looming national crisis?

It involves a WPA style effort to build mosques all across the Unites States, as well as a system of high speed trains for the purpose of bombing in the name of Allah.

allah just is arab word for god,

its the same god that palin, mccain and all the jews pray to

its self evident that those who think killing innocents is a way to heaven are obv. delusional.

no real religion preaches violence against innocents

And all real religions are good, but tragically end up twisted by man.

But hey, what can you do about it?

Nope, religious discussions that don't immediately turn into a whirling shitstorm of 'no u fag'.

And in response to>>55452

You're completely right. But that's never going to happen. It's just the way people are. They're always going to want to twist religion, whether for their own means, or because of their own arrogance and belief in their superiority. Some people just don't want to listen.

Addressing only transportation, as follows:

1. Local roads

2. Freight Corridors (Inter and Intra State high speed, limited access roads and Transcontinental Rail)

3. Urban and Near Urban Light Rail

4. Agricultural and Small manufacturing Market access Roads (AKA Farm to Market Roads common in the midwest)

5. Dedicated high speed (European120+ mph) passenger rail, emphasis on linking major population centers.

A more comprehensive rail network is really needed if we're going ever give up that dependance on middle east oil.

People who think that car use can be reduced solely with light rail in cities and HSR between them need to get out of their cars. People don't just live in cities, and if they did, this would still be a poor method of serving them.

I'd go ahead and say Japan (again) for a good example to follow, or at least to start with. The Tokyo rail network carries something like 12 billion people per year, on subways, light rail, private rail, JR, monorails, rubber-tired lines, etc., etc. Between cities, they have a wonderful blend of JR, private lines, and 3rd sector charity railroads, only kept alive because people don't want to get rid of them.

We could do that. We could do even BETTER than that. It just takes a lot of time and a lot of money.
