Well, the fact of the matter is that a lot of other countries are looking at this. This is what our infrastructure investment looks like over the past 30 years. It's been plummetting at a fast rate. I think we have to simply recognize the inevitable, which is that more money needs to be invested quickly in restoring our infrastructure. I don't believe anyone is going to go out there and advocate that there be a sharp increase in taxes at any level of government in order to make that happen. So I think we need to work innovatively at public-private partnerships.
