It may come down to the fact that we may need what we used in the 1960s: Public Opinion.

Real Public Opinion, not Beltway Derp.

It’s not only pro Democratic but pro survival. The Planet’s calling the shots on this.

As a comparison the last transportation bill, the 2015 Fast act was around $500 billion. It basically keeps up with pressing needs and the state of good repair.
