unless he is against repairing and growing our infrastructure.

Part of Hillary's statement made on August 8, 2007

It's time to stop asking how we can afford to fix our infrastructure – and start asking how we can afford not to. It's time to ask ourselves, what if we could shave minutes – even hours – off our commutes? What if we could shave hours – even days – off our shipping times? What if our ports could send and receive tons of additional goods each week, safely? What if we had public transit system and a rail system that dramatically reduced our reliance on foreign oil, and our carbon dioxide emissions, and our smog and air pollution.
