Reply to comment by Icy-Conclusion-3500 in I believe NH is waiting to legalize marijuana to sell it like it does with Liquor. I know other people believe this to, so I wanted to ask what others think of this? by JCquitt

Increasing infrastructure also means increasing more-or-less permanent spend on maintaining said infrastructure.

I'm definitely all for expanding infrastructure, but people tend to think pretty basically when it comes to economic planning.

There are several examples of projects being done with no thought of maintenance.

For example, it seems like every state is always scrambling to find money when a bridge needs repairing.

More infrastructure work ≠ more infrastructure. It could be used for maintenance that isn’t on the docket yet, or like you say, an emergency fund.
