Jeez. I think I support President Trump about as much as is humanly possible. But this?
Obama “invested” in America by filling in pot holes. That’s not an investment. You do not grow a business that way. You do not create wealth that way.
President Trump wants to fund infrastructure too. Why? It can’t be a jobs program. We had unemployment down to 3%. We didn’t need a jobs program. Sure, unemployment is suddenly a lot higher — but for how long? And who is unemployed right now? Teachers, Star Bucks barristas, hotel desk clerks, bartenders, etc. Do we tell those people “learn to code”? Do we tell those people “Drive that bulldozer over here so we can start rebuilding the bridge?”
I don’t think so.
Worse, Obama just bought signs to put on existing projects saying, “brought to you by Obama stimulus”.
