In an exit interview with All Things Considered, DOT Secretary Pete Buttigieg reflects on the Biden administration's infrastructure act and why it didn't resonate with some voters.
The main conceptual idea of the text is that while the Biden administration's infrastructure act may not have received widespread political praise initially, its long-term benefits are significant and will become increasingly apparent as projects are completed.
Buttigieg argues that the act will lead to improved quality of life, economic growth, and job creation, citing the surge in employment in construction, building, trades, and manufacturing as evidence. He compares this to the Affordable Care Act, which faced initial criticism but ultimately brought about positive changes.
