The role of superhero is not uncommon to California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, and that may have something to do with why he's starting to emerge as perhaps the nation's strongest advocate for serious national infrastructure development. Such development stands as the country's best and probably only sustainable remedy for its ailing economy and persisting high unemployment. As evidenced by his appearance on ABC-TV “This Week” last Sunday, the out-going Republican governor is probably the strongest ally on the GOP side of President Obama's economic policy. A strong supporter of Obama's stimulus plan, against almost everyone else in his own party, Schwarzenegger hailed its benefits and for addressing the 12 percent official unemployment rate in California. His only criticism of Obama is that he's not pushing it hard enough. Schwarzenegger appeared on the show with Pennsylvania Gov. Edward Rendell. The two joined with New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg to form the bi-partisan coalition, Building America's Future, to educate federal, state and local government officials on best practices regarding infrastructure funding issues.
