I don't care to study Obama's policies in detail. One link offered to me pointed to some kind of Infrastructure Bank, as reported in The Economist: Mr Obama's plans include creating an infrastructure bank to help finance transport projects, supporting high-speed rail and investing in subways and buses. Most controversial will be the question of how to pay for all this. Mr Obama's infrastructure bank would aim to attract private capital. But the private sector's role remains contentious. Both the Senate and the House have passed bills to raise money for passenger rail, but the White House wants private operators to be more involved. Pennsylvania's effort to lease its turnpike, which follows similar deals in Chicago and Indiana, must still be approved by a sceptical state legislature. economist.com snipurl.com
