I do not think there needs to be wisdom behind this. The infrastruture is in deep disrepair. Just bridge conditions in some places alone are scary enough. Waterways, sewerage, electrical grids are slowing becoming to small to handle the growing population. I support this from Obama but he not attempt to sell it as a stimulus type deal. It needs to be sold to the American public at large as a necessity.
