Infrastructure Investment Will Be a Slow Economic Stimulus Path

Yes, the trick is somehow getting these large potential projects requiring large taxpayer funds out of federal hands. We know our congress is not capable of making the right choices so we need to discover/appoint a non-profit third party - something like a Ford, Carnegie or Pew Foundation or other such 'grant making' organization - to wisely rank and appropriate federal tax set-aside infrastructure funds, based on project merit. Otherwise pork-barreling and earmarking will continue and we'll have more unneeded shipyards and bridges leading to nowhere.
