America invests less in infrastructure than its peers, a new report for the U.S. Congress’ Joint Economic Committee (JEC) released Wednesday said.
And infrastructure spending is substantially lower than what it used to be, the report said.
As a result, the county’s infrastructure is “dangerously overstretched” and in a state of disrepair, hurting not only workers and businesses but also the U.S. ability to compete globally, the report said.
