You all know the impact of infrastructure spending. DOT and other experts estimate that for every billion dollars of infrastructure spending, 25,000 well-paying jobs are created.

And just think if we did $50 billion like the President recommended, that is 1 million, over 1 million well-paying jobs that can't be outsourced.

The country has 66,000 structurally deficient bridges, one of which was regrettably in Minnesota.

There is no reason under God's good earth that it cannot be done in six months.
