Trump also plans to sell about 1 Trillion in land leases for oil drilling to pay for infrastructure improvements and turn the US into an oil exporter. Hey, Canada and Mexico are, so why not the US as well?
That should upset the Dems and the Bankers. Fun times.
I haven’t heard this recently. It made a lot of sense to me back during the primaries, but it kind of disappeared. I haven’t heard it ever mentioned in any of the debate about how to pay for infrastructure and tax cuts at the same time.
I would even go further and sell off some Federal lands to developers and let them pay to build highways, water projects, and power plants to reach their new property. The states would benefit from property taxes on it as well.
