Bridges to nowhere?

Eliot Spitzer, who could have been a presidential contender if only ...., makes a good case for why building and reparing roads is not the way to crawl out of this nasty recession.  He writes:

the right infrastructure could provide the basis for a redirected economy. Long term, the most important investments are not on the easy list of "off the shelf" projects. Yes, good roads and bridges are important. But investing in the necessary public goods to support a post-hydrocarbon, information-based economy is a much better choice than using the stimulus to patch up the old economy.

ps: speaking of Spitzer's sexcapades, read this horrible tragedy involving a man, his penis, and his jealous wife.  He is dead, their house has been burned down--it all started from the wife setting fire to the husband's penis when he was asleep.  If only we men learnt how to keep it inside our pants!  Spitzer ought to thank his wife for sparing his life!
