Reconstruction of motorwaysPhoto:GlobalLookPressThe head of state proposed a long-term project, speaking at a festival in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. According to this plan, it is supposed to significantly change the infrastructure in six years. Thus, 240 thousand km of highways, 6 thousand km of railways and 241 km of runways should be built. The last measure is designed to reduce the number of delayed and canceled flights. Thus, Obama drew attention to all types of transport in the country. The implementation of the first stage of the project will require about $50 billion. It is assumed that the funds will come from the federal budget, and the increase in revenue will occur due to higher taxes for oil and gas companies.

In this case, the money will be used for financing from a specially created Infrastructure Bank, which will also select more competitive proposals. For the economy to meet the requirements of the 21st century, long-term investments in infrastructure are needed: our roads, bridges, dams, high-speed railways and, most importantly, in modern power grids and the development of high-speed Internet. The proposed plan will not only ensure the immediate creation of new jobs, but will also lead to a long-term revival of the economy, the US President believes.
