Stagnant Infrastructure Investment Over the last several decades the United States has allocated about 2.5 percent of GDP to public infrastructure. About a fourth of this investment comes from the federal government and the remainder from state and local governments. In 2019 total spending was about $450 billion, just 2.3 percent of GDP. At that rate of investment, the United States has barely been able to maintain existing infrastructure, much less expand it. The American Society of Civil Engineers says that 4,095 of the nation's 85,000 dams are in need of repair. They estimated that the nation's infrastructure everything from highways to sewers-needs a $3.6 trillion upgrade. The Cost of Delay The U.S. Department of Transportation estimates that people now spend nearly 3.5 billion hours a year in traffic delays. If the nation's highways don't improve, those delays will skyrocket to more…arrow_forward
