Boot understands military affairs but not economics. You've got to close down government departments to create the revenue topside for needed infrastructure spending. The deficits will eat away at society and they reduce your revenues so they are self-reinforcing. The monetary growth means no-one invests in real production any more. People have all kinds of money-making schemes but they are never about making and building stuff.
The Americans are so broken with debt and urban sprawl that their living arrangements cannot be funded or maintained. So maybe they might be better off forgetting about roads that aren't flat enough to put rail-lines on them. They should concentrate only on railside and navigateable waterside development. Expand any tramways they can to any contiguous flat roads that are available and focus on building in this way leaving the rest of the country to rot. Naturally I am being extremist for explanatory purposes, and the real solution has this kind of bias, but with more realistic compromises.
But the Americans are in trouble. They will fall to pieces. They will bounce back like the Russians did. But not before an extended train-wreck. When they bounce back the great lakes areas and the big river systems will be extremely important.
