That's the problem with how we plan and pay for public infrastructure. We should hold off during boom times, when employment and costs are high. Then ramp up construction in downturns, when employment and costs are low. Counter-cyclical spending. But it runs contrary to our intuitions, and a lot of people resent the government spending money when their own finances are looking bad.
