    Even if Biden made a good faith attempt at a BRI like initiative to develop other countries infrastructure, no sovereign nation in their right mind would take it. Americans cannot plan that far in advance to build their own infrastructure. 2 years after USBRI gets passed into law, the budget for it would get cut in negotiations with the new Congress. 2 years later it would get more budget cuts or get scrapped completely by a new president. Our system does not have the capability to do any sort of long term projects with any efficiency.
