Nationwide, more than 70,000 bridges are structurally deficient. Our roads, railways, and transit systems are relics of the past. And Washington still hasn’t made rebuilding America’s infrastructure a top priority.

That’s why the country needs a long-term infrastructure bill that will fix what’s broken, build what’s needed, and improve both public life and economic competitiveness in this country. What’s more: This investment in America should be made by Americans, so that any infrastructure program is a manufacturing jobs program too.
