Infrastructure spending is a job creator by swapping debt for asset...as a businessman, Trump understands this concept. The bulk of Obama’s deficit spending went up in smoke...failed green energy companies, corporate bailouts,Obamacare and increased social and unemployment payouts. By increasing the GDP and lowering the debt-to GDP ratio, he will make America great again and generate the wealth to start tackling the federal debt.
Good thinking...money spent wisely, alongside large tax cuts will invigorate the economy massively.
What are you talking about—he just said he wants to increase our debt with the same kind of infrastructure spending that Democrats and Keynesians are always talking about. Government spending is not actually the “investment” that liberals regularly refer to it as.
President of the United States is not CEO of a business. Trump needs to understand that.
Infrastructure spending by the government is accomplished by taking money from the private economy (where it would have been put to good, job-creating use) and redirecting it (minus baksheesh) to some other use, which may also be job creating. Infrastructure spending by the government may at times be necessary, but it is absolutely not "job creating" in any net jobs sense. It is, at best, "job-redirecting". If we need to repair, rebuild, or build new infrastructure so be it. Make the case for that necessity. Don't fall for the leftist belief that a country can tax and spend its way to prosperity.
