The cost of building infrastructure in America has become too high, but politics has gotten in the way of taking steps to reduce that cost. Rather than running into a wall of opposition, Congress should create a list of the most important and impressive infrastructural projects in America and pass reforms that apply to only these projects. Congress could then rely on these projects’ popularity to get support for otherwise difficult-to-pass reforms, including the creation of a federal team of expert civil servants to help states run projects, a revival of the Build America Bonds program, and relief from otherwise politically invulnerable regulations that increase costs.
