I hope they do a reasonably large infrastructure package. Not 2 trillion, but 400 bn over 5 years would benefit the country. Fund half of it with gas taxes.
PING!
To me, infrastructure and defense are the only two things the federal government should be involved in, so I don’t have an issue with Trump outlining spending on infrastructure, providing some of it involves more border protection.
Have we paid for the last one yet? I would be okay with this if it weren’t a blue state union bailout. If one hundred miles of pavement in CA, NY, et al received the same tax dollars as a hundred miles in Mississippi and Arkansas.
We saw a literal dam crisis in CA caused by tax dollars being directed to blie areas of the state.
I guess there won’t be any shovel ready memes on FR this time, wonder what the difference is? #PrinciplesNotPolitics
Build the wall where it is most needed and easiest to protect, which is not necessarily going to be where it’s easiest to construct..
Unless “infrastructure” includes a border wall, I’d say f* it.
