I think Icahn was talking about infrastructure, defense, stuff like that; not do nothing lefty employees.

Mostly when I hear "Spend More!" it's generally for more government programs which pretty much just enrich the Government Employee/Lobbyist power blocks.

Maybe he means something different, but nowadays I don't trust anyone saying we need to spend more.

Oboondoggle has been spending money as if he had actually earned any of it as opposed to being a parasite all his life.

“I think Icahn was talking about infrastructure”

I wonder how many shares of Caterpillar and US Steel he owns ?

The story was thin. Icahn is manifestly far too smart to say something so numb without context. I’d be interested to find out the details of what he meant.
