Kind of irritated by this auto response from the White House. I dont feel my letter was even read. But Hey, someone took the time to auto respond. LoL Dear Micah: Thank you for writing. One of the best ways to create good jobs is by rebuilding America’s infrastructure—our roads and bridges, railways and ports, airports and schools, pipelines and water systems, and our power grids and broadband networks. How well we manage this task will determine how competitive we are in the years ahead, and it will directly influence the quality of life in communities across our country. Investing in American infrastructure projects makes sense. In today’s global economy, infrastructure is vital to business and first-class jobs gravitate to first-class infrastructure. That means our country must build and maintain the most up-to-date transportation systems, power grids, and communications networks in the world. Doing this will create ladders of opportunity and produce jobs here at home—putting people to work and spurring economic growth. That’s why earlier this year I launched a new, nationwide competition to build safer roads and bridges, accessible mass transit, better ports and harbors, and faster rail to move both goods and people. And with the budget I submitted to Congress, we can support millions of jobs across America while promoting a more efficient transportation system. My Administration will continue collaborating with local and state governments to provide grants for projects that encourage economic activity by generating new jobs and bolstering local businesses. And by making smart investments, we’ll establish a transportation system that’s resilient and capable of withstanding disasters and the worst impacts of climate change while cutting down on commute times, saving on gas, reducing carbon pollution, and boosting economic development. Again, thank you for being in touch on this. The bottom line is we have work to do and workers ready to do it. Our bridges shouldn’t be old enough to qualify for Medicare, our pipes shouldn’t be collapsing, and our roads shouldn’t be full of potholes—so let’s get started. Sincerely, Barack Obama
