Frank Lautenberg actually said...

If the United States does not invest in its transportation infrastructure, we will all be left behind.

If we want to leave our children and grandchildren a better country, we better make these smart investments on their behalf and do it now.

If we embrace the status quo and fail to make the needed investments, the future is not going to look very attractive to us.

By making the necessary investments and implementing needed reforms, we can transform our transportation networks.
