If Obama’s highest priority is a short term stimulus package, why is he supporting infrastructure as the stimulus? Infrastructure spending takes years to have an effect. Oh, I know. Infrastructure spending must be done on ‘prevailing wage’, ie, union scale contracts. The unions love infrastructure.
......why is he supporting infrastructure ....
The real answer is that he has no answer. Most people can’t pronounce infrastucture that has four syllables. A big word thrown around sounds like action.
His only defense is “Bush’s fault”. That will wear thin when there is no success in the rust belt
