During the last depression they built Hoover Dam. What great projects will be built this time around?

There's plenty of things that need repair before we start building something new. Hoover Dam is just fine. Nevada and Arizona are building an elevated bridge over the Colorado River right now, to ease the page of truck traffic, and to byp the dam by those who are "just pin' thru". The National Highway System needs updating. Old bridges in many states are in dire need of repair or replacement. Levees in many states need updating and improvement. If we're going to start a new project, let's start with an interstate penger rail system. It takes 5 hours to drive from Las Vegas to Phoenix. It also takes 5 hours to fly to Phoenix, when you add in parking, security checkpoints, baggage claim, and farting around with all the bureaucracy and delays. And that's just a beginning...
