The combination of funding for our ports, airports, and highways is a really significant investment in our infrastructure.

Gina Raimondo

We need to build roads, bridges, airports, locks, dams, and rail that work for this century - not the last one. And let's not forget about updating our energy grid, repairing and replacing our water infrastructure and sewers, and making sure all Americans have access to broadband.

Amy Klobuchar

Investing in long overdue infrastructure projects like the Montgomery Locks and Dams system is critical to the health of our region's economy.

Conor Lamb

Most of the locks and dams on the upper Mississippi River system are over 60 years old and many are in serious need of repair and rehabilitation.

Ron Kind

In Western Pennsylvania, our parents and grandparents left us a strong system of roads, rails, bridges, locks, dams, streetcars, and more - an investment that paid off throughout the twentieth century. It now falls to our generation to rebuild and improve upon this system for the twenty-first century.

Conor Lamb

You can get a coalition of senators from particular states in America, for example, who want to construct highways or dams or ports which may well be very inefficient. The taxes would be paid by the people over the whole country, but the benefits would go to the few people in those particular locations. This type of spending is a rather gross waste of resources that worsened over the years as the government has been allowed to do more particularized things.

James M. Buchanan

These were big ones. Those companies would then go in and build an electrical system or ports or highways, and these would basically serve just a few of the very wealthiest families in those countries.

John Perkins

One of the issues that I have raised in that context is our transport system, road, rail and ports. We have raised this before, that the South African economy has grown at a rate that has overtaken the capacity of the transport system. And therefore, we have said that it is necessary to expand our capacity in the ports.

Thabo Mbeki

New highways, ports, and runways appear economically foolish if we don't understand the economic growth that flows from such investments.

John Delaney

China is taking over Brazil, and that is worrying. They are investing in mining, agriculture, energy, ports, and airports.

Jair Bolsonaro

New schools, hospitals, clinics, factories, bridges, dams, and airports tell the story of a South Africa that has indeed moved forward.

Cyril Ramaphosa

I grew up in airports and on air bases. I know what flying and airports can be. And most airports make me feel like we're about three per cent better than ants. Especially U.S. airports. They're zoos. All civility is gone.

Douglas Coupland

Tunnels, our ports, our airports - they need work. And there are millions of jobs to be done.

Hillary Clinton

Privatization of assets that most of us consider public goods - like airports and highways - has a long, often-uncontroversial history.

Bethany McLean

For the good of our environment, the good of the economy, and the good of the Nation, I strongly urge support of the upper Mississippi locks and dams project.

Leonard Boswell

We anticipate countries increasing their spending on infrastructure like railways, airports, power plants and ports. Our heavy forging plant has the capacity to cater to each of these segments.
