Not surprising!
A lot of local GOP “crony capitalists” benefit from this kind of spending. Go to a local GOP meeting, you will be amazed at the number of supposed “conservatives” there trying to tilt government their way. Usually they run the local party, at least that's been my experience. It was a stampede of pigs to the trough for road contracts, zoning easements, special permits for this & that, special sole source procurements, etc. It was disgusting, a RAT local meeting must be GAWD AWFUL by comparison !!!
Cantor is probably being overwhelmed by these types of “supporters and friends”.

Sarah Palin, advocate of the "crony Capitalist" meme, on infrastructure stimulus spending:

"On the whole these things that are good for the state we will appreciate those dollars coming as an addition to our economy, certainly the construction projects we are still looking forward to those because those are what actually create the jobs."

Since I presume you don't think Sarah Palin endaged in "crony capitalism", you must see that infrastructure spending isn't "crony capitalism".
