"What is infrastructure?" Somehow, this is the question under debate right now, thanks to America's antiquated political system, which has made it virtually impossible to pass anything that isn't a giant omnibus bill by the slimmest of margins.

Two hundred years ago, America made a bad decision about infectious diseases and national priorities. In 1798, the English physician Edward Jenner had shown that an injection of cowpox - variolae vaccinae - protected people from the horrors of smallpox.

Up next on the legislative docket for the Biden-Harris Administration and Congress are negotiations on a major infrastructure bill to spur an economic recovery.

For decades, a political calculation has quietly undergirded the sales pitch many Democratic political leaders have made for their economic agenda: If you want to win majority support, don't bring up race. But if the opening months of the Biden administration are any indication, the math seems to have shifted.

The future of infrastructure in the post-Covid world is set to be hotly debated. But we don't need to wait for a $3 trillion infrastructure bill to act. A little-known provision of the newly minted American Rescue Plan is the key to jumpstarting infrastructure innovation.

And for those who wish America had a more robust passenger train network, it gave them something new: hope.
