It's estimated for every $1 billion we spend on road construction, nearly 48,000 jobs are created.

We've built six schools in Colombia and do work in South Africa and Haiti. We teach 5,000 students.

In preparation for it, we need to have folks who are trained, we need facilities, equipment and supplies, that are going to be built into our society, and we are going to spend a lot of money on it.

We have to provide good teachers, good environment, community involvement with schools.

We'll look after our hospitals. We'll look after our schools. We'll look after our infrastructure.

For too long, we financed our schools in a way that has systematically left large segments of our population behind.

We have an extensive system of highways, ports, locks and dams, and airports.

Also, if we take back our schools and concentrate on improving them so our children get a better education, they will be better trained to compete for a job locally.

If more people got involved with their local schools, if more companies donated money, a lot of the problems that are plaguing our schools and our youth would disappear.

There is so much we can do to save lives on our roads.
