Macroeconomic Impact of U.S Infrastructure Investment or Lack of Investment

Abstract

Now the infrastructure in the United States is beginning to age and damage, and it has begun to affect people's daily lives and the country's economy. These issues have become issues that the U.S. government needs to take seriously, so this study was born. This paper mainly conducts analysis and research through the analysis of the case and the report of the official data. The study points to a decline in U.S. government investment in U.S. infrastructure and neglect to maintain a large amount of aging infrastructure. In this regard, this study proposes to maintain the old bridges, subways, wastewater treatment facilities, etc., and strengthen the infrastructure investments in low-income areas to provide a better environment for people to live in. The significance of this research is to attach importance to the construction and maintenance of infrastructure, which is not only for the country's economic prosperity, but also for the people of the country to live and work in peace and contentment. Infrastructure is a very important part of a country's economy and cannot be ignored.
