Building and Upgrading Infrastructure for Long-Term Development

Senators Kerry, Warner and Hutchinson have expanded the idea of a Federal Highway Bank put forward by Matthew Kahn and David Levinson I discussed back in March. The Federal Highway Bank would be initially funded by the federal government but would soon become self-financing. Kerry etal are using the basic idea but extending it to sewers, levees and airports.

It's a good idea. There is some bi-partisan support. But can they make it happen?
