Speaking before American mayors in Florida today, Vice President Biden lamented the lack of federal infrastructure projects.
 
"I wish you could travel around the world with me, 600,000 miles so far just as Vice President," Biden said, adding that he wished he could show them cities in China.

"If I blindfolded Americans and took them into some of the airports or ports in China, and then took one of them to any of your cities in the middle of the night just so that they could see it," Biden said. "If I said, 'which one is in America and which one is in China,' most Americans would say, 'That great one is in America.'"

"It's not." Biden said emphatically.
