5. In his 2011 State of the Union Address, President Barack Obama said:”Our  infrastructure used to be the best, but our lead has slipped. South  Korean homes now have greater Internet access than we do. Countries in  Europe and Russia invest more in their roads and railways than we do.  China is building faster trains and newer airports. Meanwhile, when our  own engineers graded our nations infrastructure, they gave us a “D.”We  have to do better. America is the nation that built the  transcontinental railroad, brought electricity to rural communities,  constructed the Interstate Highway System. The jobs created by these  projects didnt just come from laying down track or pavement. They came  from businesses that opened near a towns new train station or the new  off-ramp.”
