目前，没有什么比目前衰退的深度和持续时间更重要的了。我们对深度无能为力，这将很快揭示，但是我们可以控制即将发生的事情的长度和广度。

工程师，建立，财务和运营美国基础设施的行业有一个不同寻常的机会，可以通过领导指控来实现快速的经济复苏，健壮的就业机会和持续的业务增长来使持续时间短缺。

With tremendous damage already, this is going to be long and tough. But we must start now and generate both quick and lasting results.

特朗普政府官员说，计划中的第四次经济刺激“将是基础设施”，必须是现代的马歇尔计划，包括建筑行业的领导者，而不是政治家，推动其设计和执行。

决定性和强大的行动将阻止经济大屠杀，并使数百万恢复工作。

标准普尔全球评级现在预测，美国GDP在2020年将签约5.2％，比3月份预测的1.3％下降幅度差，可能会差。

我们如何使基础设施计划成为现实？

不t Red or Blue—Bright Green

CG/LA基础设施Inc研究has identified nearly 500 infrastructure projects that are ready to go as strategic building blocks for economic revival. These have already been plotted on a GIS map that highlights direct and indirect job creation. Projects are in every state and in every infrastructure sector—from transportation to water delivery to energy generation to power transmission.

Getting projects up and running would drive a return to growth, creating needed jobs by Dec. 31. These are not red or blue state jobs, but ones in each of our 435 congressional districts that would light up the country in bright green—the color of money flowing back into municipal budgets, business bottom lines and worker paychecks.

维修和扩大美国基础设施的需求尚未获得必要的国家政治关注和共识。我们必须将看法（例如92％的执行受访者转变为最近的行业调查，该调查都将基础设施品牌定为“弱”或“平庸”。转变的看法并不能使问题减少或需求减少。

下一个问题是获得关键的投资。尽管最近对基础设施刺激进行对冲，但没有比现在更好的时间了。唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）总统和众议院议长南希·佩洛西（Nancy Pelosi）在一项多年的努力中吹嘘了2万亿美元，在2025年之前，我们的基础设施投资有效地翻了一番，这是我们需要开始的大爆炸。

Let’s anticipate that this initial federal investment can generate the necessary capital from other public and private sources. U.S. government guarantees would help, something the European Union already is doing. In a recent survey conducted by CG/LA Infrastructure, 94% of industry respondents wanted to see increased private investment in infrastructure.

那么，领导层从何处到达我们国家的巨大动员？正如我所说，它来自我们。

谁领导？大家都这样做

CEOs of design, construction, technology, finance and services firms, who are infrastructure experts, must lead. They must publicly advocate for a financial stimulus that is strong enough to get the job done, develop the plan and lead execution of an unprecedented project mobilization, and insure its delivery. This will result in greater productivity, less congestion, reduced pollution and rebuilt financial security for U.S. citizens.

您多久有机会与州，联邦和商业领袖一起加入，不仅是利用行业的集体技能和创造力来重建美国的身体和财务，而且还可以改善民族情绪和心态。

那么，谁领导？大家都这样做。

As Chris Lowney, a Jesuit seminarian turned investment banker and a personal friend, says in his still widely read 2003 book,Heroic Leadership,我们都是为了“英雄”目的而生活的领导者。
