Michael Stephens on infrastructure and free lunches on Multiplier Effects, the blog of the Levy Institute
Numerous studies indicate that the US needs to make $2 trillion worth of necessary repairs to its roads, bridges, and sewage systems.
The key word here is “necessary.” The issue is not whether to invest $2 trillion to make these necessary repairs. Unless we decide that we want to return to dirt roads the only question is when.

The federal government is being paid to borrow money.
These conditions won’t always hold. Borrowing to invest in infrastructure, right now, is about as close to a free lunch as you can get.
