If you want to speak of highways, then I can think of plenty of highway projects, including transforming one of the busiest rural expressways in America from two lanes in both directions to three, and replacing one of its cloverleaf interchanges (horrible accident waiting to happen when a truck jackknives going too fast for conditions, which can result from some fool cutting off an eighteen-wheeler). If I tell you what state and part of the state it is in I will give much away.Well, you aren't going to solve poverty with more welfare programs and a more generous welfare system.
We are going to need more water and more energy. Solar power, anyone?
I can think of something far better than some wall resembling the Berlin Wall wall along our border: a freeway along US 83 which would connect a big chunk of America badly served by current highways. Rural freeways stimulate local development along them; urban expressways can wreck urban areas.
