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."

Since Obama claims his $787 Billion stimulus “worked,” why another multi-Billion to stimulate the economy?

Seems like a repeat of failure to me.

We have a neighborhood grade school which is surrounded by new bike lanes and sidewalks. All the kids that go to this school live within two miles of the school and in a very safe, quiet, upscale housing sub-division. I go by there most every afternoon around 3 o’clock and am amazed to see hundreds of cars lined up with mom’s waiting to pick up their kids and take them home. This past week I saw one kiddo leaving on a bike. First time since school began this past September. Just ridiculous.

“For two million dollars, we got new curbs and pavement for about 1000 feet of highway.”

Seems a wee bit steep, don’t you think?

“To be paid for how?”

Will tax the 1%. And pay for single-payer and more EBT cards too.

Once you start reciting how the math doesn’t work, and that no, you’re not a racist, the LIV has tuned out.

Welcome to America, 2016

I won’t bother reading the rest of the replies so it may have been said already, but look for the Clinton foundation to mysteriously acquire around 5 billion in new donations if this happens.

I am dead serious.

A couple billion on a bigass wall would be wildly popular.

Why won't they do it?

Lots of the news outlets are carrying this pic with the articles (shiver, reminds me of Pennywise, Stephen King's evil clown, about to rip the jugular out of a little kid's throat):

...along with the headlines.

If Reuters (or anyone else) is reporting on it then it is, by definition, already ‘unveiled.’

This tired, regimented old-school political campaigning has got to go.

Who will pay for it Hillary? Your Donkey party has looted the treasury and spent us into oblivion.

Talk about rearranging the deck chairs on RMS Titanic after it hit the ice berg! What a moron this Clinton is.

I guess we finally built up a backlog of shovel-ready projects again. Any bets on how much of this ends up in Clinton Foundation donations?
