How Much Does the U.S. Invest in Infrastructure?

The United States is falling behind on investing in the roads, bridges, airports, and transit systems that keep our economy humming. While Europe and China invest 5% and 9% of their GDP on infrastructure, the U.S. invests just 2%.

That's why President Obama is calling on Congress to pass a piece of the American Jobs Act [ http://www.whitehouse.gov/economy/jobsactsub2-tab?utm_source=110311&utm_medium=topper&utm_campaign=daily ] that will invest billions into our nation’s transportation infrastructure and create a National Infrastructure Bank. These measures will put hundreds of thousands of Americans back to work and provide a critical backbone for a strong economy.

By the Numbers: 2% [ http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2011/11/01/2-percent-infrastructure?utm_source=110311&utm_medium=topper&utm_campaign=daily ]
