If the economy is humming along, why is there no money for our infrastructure? Remember DOMESTIC infrastructure is a legitimate government expenditure.

"Our" economy???? here where I live there are all kinds of infastrucure renewal going on...oh wait I live in Florida which has no Income Tax and the best economy in the Union, will be having "tax free" shopping periods to give some of the surplus back to the public. Maybe it is because we have a GOP Governor and a GOP legislature..hummm?

Because the government wastes our money on stupid crap that they shouldn’t be involved in.

I have no idea what this remotely has to do with our trade deficit though, beyond validating my point that the government is a piss poor economic planner and should do less of it.

The Buchananites cannot seem to tackle this inarguable point, so they throw out irrelevancies like how some people in Texas want to finance construction of a road.
