Sounds like it wasn't left enough for the socialists and was centrist enough to capture a few sane Republicans.

Funny, because if anything is socialist according to the way Republicans define it, infrastructure is. Big government personified.

All the same, the US needs infrastructure. Individual wealth in the US is above most other western countries. But roads, bridges, railways (particularly railways) and airports mostly (although not universally) look a long way behind to me.
