The ADA Edu­ca­tion Fund’s March Con­gres­sional brief­ing explored how pub­lic invest­ment in phys­i­cal infra­struc­ture (roads, bridges, sew­ers, tran­sit), as well as in human resources (such as through edu­ca­tion and health care), makes the mod­ern econ­omy pos­si­ble and leads to gen­eral pros­per­ity. The event rebutted the notion that “gov­ern­ment doesn’t cre­ate jobs.”
