"America once led the world in building and maintaining a nationwide network of safe and reliable bridges and roads. Today, nearly a quarter of the nation's 600,000 bridges have been designated as structurally deficient or functionally obsolete. Let's rebuild our crumbling infrastructure. Let's make our country safer and more efficient. Let's put millions of Americans back to work."
~ Sen. Bernie Sanders

"High-speed trains in Japan can now reach 375 mph - twice as fast as any public transit train in the United States. America's railroads were once the envy of the world. Today they are in disrepair and we are falling further and further behind the rest of the world. We need to rebuild our crumbling infrastructure, including rail. When we do that we not only make our country more productive and efficient, we create millions of new jobs."
~ Sen. Bernie Sanders

"Millions are unemployed and our roads are falling apart. If we can spend $6 trillion sending people to war, we can spend $1 trillion to put Americans to work fixing our nation's crumbling infrastructure. Let's rebuild America and create jobs."
~ Sen. Bernie Sanders

"The U.S. spends just 2.4 percent of GDP on infrastructure. Europe spends twice that amount, and China spends close to four times our rate. It is time to rebuild our crumbling roads, bridges, water systems, dams, levees, transit and rail systems. It is time to provide jobs for millions of workers."
~ Sen. Bernie Sanders

"We have got to rebuild our crumbling infrastructure, transform our energy sector, and create millions of decent paying jobs in the process." ~ Sen. Bernie Sanders

"We need a movement which says that, when real unemployment is over 10% and youth unemployment is off the charts, we need to create millions of decent paying jobs by rebuilding our crumbling infrastructure." ~ Sen. Bernie Sanders
