Two main points he is missing about the infrastructure/jobs bill: 1) it is primarily about pumping out some working-class jobs, quickly, before we have too many angry young men turning to criminal activity in the cities, driving even more people (and businesses) out of the cities, in a downward spiral. This isn't "investment", it's more like a blood transfusion. 2) if our system were more democratic than it currently is, the infrastructure would not be less auto-centric, it would be far more automobile-centric. If it were put up to a vote, there would be >2/3 in favor of automobile as the only infrastructure getting worked on. Not saying that would be wise, just that it's not the undemocratic aspects of America's system that cause it to be auto-centric, it's the democratic aspects.
