Build it

摘要

Arnold Schwarzenegger once made his living as a bricklayer, which perhaps explains his new mantra. He used the words "build it" seven times in last week's state-of-the-state address, where he unveiled a ten-year plan to invest some $223 billion to upgrade the tired infrastructure of the world's eighth-biggest economy. That was arguably the biggest splurge since the 1960s under Governor Pat Brown, a Democrat; and this week Mr Schwarzenegger followed it up with a budget for the year beginning in July that showers money on state services.
