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."

Obama stole 7? trillion dollars from us claiming he was going to provide us with those same “shovel- ready jobs”. Sorry, Hillary, but once fooled twice wisened. We’ve Been there, done that. We got royally shafted. All we have to show for our trust is the huge bill we and our children have to pay And we already know your money- grubbing and lying ways We’d be insane to trust you. If u wanna be president, at least come up with something new and better !
“will be fully paid for by changing how businesses are taxed”
In other words, she plans on raising taxes.
So given Hillarys plan, once again the corrupt Democrats Washington cartel is evidently trying to rescue the country from a crisis manufactured by the Washington cartel.
Also note the following. Regardless what FDRs state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices wanted everybody to think about Congresss Commerce Clause powers (1.8.3), a previous generation of state sovereignty-respecting justices had clarified the following.
Not only have the states never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate INTRAstate commerce, but also that Congress is prohibited from raising taxes in the name of state power issues, essentially any issue which Congres cannot ustify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers.
”State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress. [emphases added]” - Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
So when patriots elect Trump, or whatever conservative they elect, they also need to elect a new, state sovereignty-respecting Congress that will work within its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers to support the new president.
Hillary!
‘Cuz we ain’t enough in debt already.
"encouraging private investment"
"increasing government jobs"
This is an assault on savings, investment and productive expenditure.This will lead to increased demand for consumer goods, but reduced capital accumulation and reduced accumulation of capital goods, which leads to reduced capital intensiveness and reduced technological progress.This leads to reduced economic progress and reduced overall prosperity. It also leads to decrease productivity of labor which leads to less production, less supply, and higher prices. This leads to reduced increases in the average real wage rate, which leads to reduced standard of living for the average worker.Again, another libtard counterproductive perversity of result.
Enough of govt “solutions”.
Solutions == more govt == more confiscation
What, again?
Nothing up my sleeve [riiiip], presto!
[fail]
No doubt about it Rocky, I gotta get a new hat!
If all the infrastructure is STILL crumbling after trillions of stimulus and infrastructure spending, they don’t need more money - they need fewer cronies, unions and current administrators on the case.
I can just imagine the construction signs now:
“Your great-granchildren’s tax dollars at work”
How’s that 100 Trillion we’ve already spent working out?
Doesn’t seem to bother the loco mayor and reps....even though the village folks had to pitch in half. They’re all nuts.
And as soon as the unions are paid off with it, the rest will be funneled to welfare programs.
Didn’t Obama do this with his “shovel ready” jobs crap?
Wow...almost a third of a trillion dollars. Hell, a billion here, a billion there. What difference does it make.
Which Clinton Stooge is going to run the infrastructure bank”?
Illegals will get all the jobs because they are more able to travel to get work.
Can somebody ask her where that Trillion Dollar Stimulus Money to fix the Infrastructure went?
Well don't discount ISIS or the Palestinian Authority.
