Blueprint America: The presidential candidates on infrastructure

Blueprint America, produced by Channel Thirteen/ WNET, PBS New York, with support from Rockefeller Foundation, reports a four-part series about the presidential candidates? views on America?s aging infrastructure.

America's crumbling infrastructure will pose significant problems for
the next president. From crumbling roads and bridges to inadequate
internet service, the country is paying the price for years of

campaign trail. Correspondent Rick Karr interviews advisors of both campaigns on how a President McCain or a President Obama would address four major infrastructure issues: roads versus rail; the fraying electrical grid; poor internet service; and whether or not the federal government should invest heavily in infrastructure as part of an economic stimulus package.
