It could have completed several local transit projects, or made significant progress for one of the HSR corridors. Alone it doesn't sound like much, but when you consider the amount of jobs that will be created, and in turn the amount of money/spending pumped into the economy, the money would quickly pay for itself, and eat away at the national deficit.
Same thing for educational capitol. We should be investing in American ingenuity. I look around Houston everyday and see trees getting cut up and mulched b/c of the storm debris... i keep thinking to myself "I wonder how much electricity or fuel this mulch could create??" If we had the dedication and technology, this could happen, and we wouldn't have to drain our money at the gas pump. But none of it happens without a smart, young, and eager crop of college graduates.
