Building transit doesn't fix the trade imbalance.
- furyg3 17y agoIrrelevant... neither does building public roads.
- iterationx 17y agoExactly, building infrastructure doesn't improve our trade imbalance, that's my point. China loans the US money and pegs the yuan to the dollar so we can buy their goods. That's not a sustainable model. Building transit doesn't affect this model.
- trevelyan 17y agoActually, as long as the US is importing oil it does in part.
- iterationx 17y agoWe need to export more goods, not import.
- jsankey 17y agoOr import less. If the transit was more energy efficient, or just less reliant on oil, it could have some impact.
