Exactly - before we raise taxes and shovel more money into the maw of the beast, we should find out where the last nigh-trillion dollars we authorized for ‘infrastructure’ went and eliminate unnecessary spending.
We’ve got infrastructure under construction with funding by other means because of Obama’s political game playing. Canada is paying the entire cost of a new bridge over the Detroit river. Rick Snyder asked for $250 million for related infrastructure on our side of the river and Obama said he would only approve it if we give $100 million of it to Detroit pension funds.
Snyder said “No thank you” and started the project without federal approval or funds. We’ll pay ourselves back and the feds can wait on the revenue generated.
