Most infrastructure work is intrastate and the states/counties/municipalities should do those. They can use a referendum, they can create tolls where applicable, perhaps the fed can be used for loans, but not my first choice.

The real threat faced by 'infrastructure' are the grids and water supplies that serve multiple states. While much of these are under corporate control, they are interdependent and vulnerable to terror attacks. THAT is where I'd like to see some upgrades and hardening. It's not glamourous, but it's necessary and like the phone system of the 20's, 30's, something that is perhaps even more important to the government doing what it's supposed to, protect its citizens, then our the jobs the states should be doing. We don't need the country to pay for Jerry Brown's rail wet dream.
