Bridges and roads take years to build, but too often, states and communities haven't known if funding will be there for them more than a few months at a time.

Roads do not upgrade or maintain themselves. Bridges do not repair themselves or rebuild themselves.

People need to see where their dollars are going and what infrastructure is being built.

How we fund transportation in this country is broken. You all pay a gasoline tax, right? Well, cars go farther, we get electric cars, and so on. And then we do more with the money than just build roads. We do bike lanes and mass transit.

Congress passes bills that appropriate money. Congress says, 'We're building this bridge or funding that defense project, and they cost this much.'

Building new roads and bridges creates jobs. Growing our exports creates jobs. Reforming our outdated tax system and our broken immigration system creates jobs.

You don't pay taxes - they take taxes.

The truth is, no one pays more tax than they have to.

I'll tell you who doesn't have any personal responsibility. Companies like General Electric and others who pay absolutely no income tax.
