This reminds me of the “Shovel-ready Jobs” bill and the economic stimuli. Much, maybe most, of that spending went to bail out city and state governments that had deficits, rather than to the causes they were intended for.
It reminds me of that too.
And the worst thing about the Obama “Shovel-ready Jobs” bill wasn’t that it failed to fund infrastructure as promised. The worst thing is that it became part of the annual budget instead of a “one-time” expenditure as promised.
Democrats wouldn’t give Trump an infrastructure bill. Trump would have built infrastructure with it. It would have been glorious!!!
