In their dueling speeches in Detroit recently, Donald Trump and Hillary Clintonpresented radically different visions for the U.S. economy.
Yet, for all their disagreement, the candidates found common ground on one high-profile economic issue: infrastructure. With this week’s proposals, the two candidates were actually struggling to outdo each other on who would do the most to fund public works.
This agreement on infrastructure is long overdue. Every single day in New York, Washington, and other cities, glitches in decades-old and underfunded subway systems keep thousands of people delayed underground.
