Basically, investing in science, technology, education, research etc.

Good paper here if interested
In order to ramp up infrastructure during a surplus they would also have to ramp down infrastructure during a deficit. I don't mind one off projects that can be fully funded with minimal ongoing costs, but generally feel that if the infrastructure is that important then it should have been in the budget at the start of the year.
