message: *Advocates of American System Economics point out that such federal investments in infrastructure are counter-inflationary, because they increase the overall productive power of the economy, in contrast to federal investments that prop up speculative bubbles, as was the trend in the 1990s.
Who are these advocates? -Willmcw 10:35, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

message: Would someone who can decipher what is meant by "technically difficult projects did not ended up more exceedings of the budget than technically easy projects" please rewrite it in grammatical and comprehensible English. --Pfold (talk) 17:46, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

message: "Consequently, almost all significant infrastructure in the U.S., including the Transcontinental Railroad, the Tennessee Valley Authority, and the Interstate Highway System, were created through federal investment (often employing private subcontractors)"
This is simply misleading. While the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956 did establish a method of federally funding a majority of Interstate highways, most other roads and bridges are built by states. The infrastructure supporting running water is often supported by local government. Most other infrastructure, such as railroads, airports, and electricity, Internet, natural gas, oil, gasoline, food distribution, is created through private investments by individuals and corporations, not federal funding.
