Oh, I think there's enough to do in "legacy" areas: roads, bridges, ports and airports, water supplies, electricity transmission grids, and so on. Also flood control measures and drought and wildfire mitigation.

Your industries of the future won't operate well if the basics aren't kept up.

But should these be done only in times of recession? Should we hold some projects in "shovel-ready" state so we can have something to quickly spend money on when the economy starts faltering? Or should the government just do these things when they need to be done?
