US must regain its infrastructure advantage

United States infrastructure was once the envy of the world. But after years of under-investment, the World Economic Forum now ranks it only number 11 in the world. What was once a critical economic advantage is being squandered while other countries like China and India are investing meaningful sums to upgrade and expand their infrastructure networks.

While Washington deals with a summer of legislative uncertainty, one area that leadership on both sides of the aisle should be able to come to agreement on is the need to reclaim our infrastructure advantage.
