I am curious about the “ infrastructure” jobs. Fact or fantasy? I am a humble truck driver. Crossing the country at least twice a month, I see lots of construction, some as far as 27 mile stretches. If infrastructure is going to save us all, I think unemployment numbers would be lower.
RE: I am curious about the “ infrastructure” jobs. Fact or fantasy?
There really is no reason why there shouldn’t be infrastructure jobs. Our bridges and roads everywhere are crumbling (Here in NY State, we have a huge bridge with millions of cars passing by everyday called the Tappan Zee Bridge that needs total repair ).
If the Constitution’s Commerce Clause has any bearing on the Federal Government, INFRASTRUCTURE APPLIES.
The problem is most of the money has been wasted propping up municipal debt and the pensions and benefits of a lot of union workers.
We also have money diverted into such esoteric project as green jobs, green cars, cash for clunkers and the like.
