"We need to create new and strong incentives for investment here in the building blocks for economic competitiveness--roads, bridges, rail, aviation, and other essential infrastructure."

"I believe we must work together in a bipartisan manner to find new ways to finance infrastructure projects that create jobs and increase our economic competitiveness."

"If we did a 10-year infrastructure revitalization program, that would revitalize this Nation's economy and American manufacturing."

"Rising economic powers around the world are investing in their future--we need to do the same before we are left behind."
