I don’t see how any conservative supports the infrastructure spending.

Well, for one thing, at least it's Constitutional spending, and it's also undeniable that it's profoundly necessary. Furthermore, it will be the result of a public/private partnership to a much greater degree than anything 0bama did, and, additionally, it won't be a transparent scheme to dole out corporate welfare to favored industries.

I can't think of any President who could be better suited to implementing such federal spending.

I believe in minimal government, and one positive feature about this infrastructure spending is that it won't be used to grow the size of government.

Honestly, I don't get the knee-jerk opposition to a federal spending program that is both Constitutional and absolutely necessary, and, by the way, something that will put millions of Americans back to work!

There's nothing about supporting such legitimate federal spending that makes anyone stop being a conservative.

Opposing this infrastructure bill is going to put some strident ideologues in a distinct and silly-sounding minority.

President Trump will make sure that these projects are completed on time, under budget, and without creating corporate welfare. What more could anyone ask?

Where in the Constitution is that listed?

Who do you think pays for public-private partnerships? We do. Entirely. Always.

How does spending a trillion dollars on a government program NOT increase the size of government?
