Trump’s plan is very similar to what Reagan did, and I can be very happy with that.
Somebody on this thread said the financing may be different from the usual government way of doing things for Trump’s planned infrastructure building. I do hope so, because politicians find it easy to skim money from big construction projects and not get caught.
How long did it take after Regan took over to get a balanced budget? Be realistic, be positive, and don’t jump to negative conclusions. Trump is our best hope since Reagan.
Reagan applied something of a narrow, user-fee principle to fund special interest areas of the federal government, and one of those was the fund for federal highways.
That’s quite different than Trump’s Democrat-style, “we’ve got to significantly increase our deficit spending for improved airports and hospitals” approach.
I’m for Trump, have been for the past year, and he’s, to be honest, the only hope we have at this point.
But not providing honest commentary here when he veers way, way over to the Left on specific issues is IMO being less helpful than is being honest in our discussions.
And Jane Long doesn’t know what she’s talking about. The flip side of all federal bonds is the investors, and investors are always paid back with some sort of income/payoff stream from the government.
“Public/private investments” are rent-seeking crony capitalism 99.9% of the time.
