Infrastructure jobs a coming?

[Uben]

I've heard this a lot more of late. So, who profits off of infrastructure monies? Wouldn't that be a pretty good investment if you knew who stands to profit from an infrastructure reconstruction bill? I'm guessing highway construction companies, heavy equipment manufacturers, truck manufacturers, cement companies, steel companies, and the like.

Caterpillar? Aren't they "made in America"? They were down over 9% today in the market. What other companies can you think of that might be tied to infrastructure?

1. So many

COnstruction workers, inspectors, engineers, environmental groups, etc. Plus it drives revenue to cities and counties for permits and inspection fees.

one thin dime on a jobs program.
