INFRASTRUCTURE REPLACEMENT

“The ASCE [American Society of Civil Engineers] says that the estimated
need of support for America's infrastructure by
2020 is $3.6 trillion. Total
spending at current levels is estimated by the ASCE to be
$253 billion
annually and estimated spending between
2013 and 2020, before passage of the
highway bill, is estimated at
$2 trillion, leaving us $1.6 trillion short.
