21. There's a minor problem with that
What do the people spend their money on after they've earned it building the bridges and repairing the roads?

If they spend it on cheap plastic crap from China, nothing is accomplished.

If it all goes to pay down existing debt, nothing is accomplished.

The road and bridge projects will come to an end eventually. What you have to create is a self-sustaining economy. That means manufacturing jobs. Without those, you're at a dead end.
