Clinton will unveil $275 billion infrastructure plan to create jobs By Amanda Becker
BOSTON U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton plans to make job creation the focus of her campaign over the next month, beginning with a $275 billion infrastructure spending plan that will be released this week.
Clinton's plan to increase the federal government's spending on infrastructure by $275 billion over the next five years will be fully paid for by changing how businesses are taxed, a campaign aide said, without providing any details.
Of the total amount, $25 billion will be earmarked for an infrastructure bank. Clinton's campaign estimates her proposals could also encourage private investment that, along with government spending, would inject a total of $500 billion into rebuilding crumbling roads, bridges, buildings and other structures.
"My jobs plan starts with investing in infrastructure," Clinton said on Sunday at the launch of "Hard Hats for Hillary" in Boston, "not just because infrastructure jobs are good-paying jobs, though they are, and not just because we desperately need to invest in building our future again, which we do, but because investing in infrastructure makes our economy more productive and competitive across the board."

Trump must be salivating at this. As he says, this is in his wheelhouse.
Well now we know what’s she’s doing at 3:00am in the morning.
That’s when ideas like these pop into your head...
bingo
I'm presidential. I'm announcing plans. Take me seriously.
Q: “Bill, how’s Hillary’s head?”
A: “OK, but not as good as Monica’s.”
Resurrecting the CCC of the 30s. Worked then, kept people from starving during the Depression and regimented enough men to muster an army when we finally admitted that the world was at war.
Is Hillary admitting that we’re facing the same?
Two.
Hundred.
Seventy.
BILLION.
She should have simply said, “I’m gonna give everyone Eleventy-Skadillion Dollars!”
Shovel ready? hmmm. Where have I heard that before?
Free...everything is free. If it is not...you are an anti-woman racist.
Politicians controlling $275 billion that has to be removed by threat of imprisonment from the private sector.
What could possibly be wrong with that?
To be paid for how?
She’s a piker compared to odumbo.
Why stop at $275 Billion?
Why not $500 or $800 billion?
You know, like the $900 billion stimulus that went into Democrat lined pockets nationwide....
Because that One Trillion Dollars apparently wasn’t enough...
“changing how businesses are taxed... makes our economy more productive and competitive across the board”
Nothing like more taxes to help an economy out!
Japan tried that in the 90’s. It doesn’t work.
Roosevelt tried it during the Great Depression. It got worse.
Their playbook is old.............
“... changing how businesses are taxed, a campaign aide said, without providing any details.”
Hummmm ... I’ll take “Raising Business/Corporate Taxes” for a $1,000 Alex!
How much will be “earmarked” for the Clintoon Roads & Highways Initiative fund?
Who are the jobs for? Not Americans, the TPP is a document meant to turn Norte into a “shining light” on a hill designed to attract only the best from anywhere to apply for the job. Citizens, they can replace the people living in cardboard boxes in el Centro Amerika.
That daft old bat still doesn’t understand that government cannot create jobs, MEANINGFUL jobs by throwing OUR tax money down their socialistic ratholes. ‘EEEEN-FRA-STRUCTURE’ is how that old fossil Fritz Hollings used to try and sell that con game. It is STILL a con game.
How much energy has the Department of Energy created?
How many kids have been better educated because of the (laugh-chuckle-snort) Department of Education?
I rest my case.
