It’s only money. Your grandkids money ...
I don’t support it. Want to build infrastructure? BUILD GAS REFINERIES!
Still waiting on the first set of “shovel ready jobs”.
More spending. With a 4.1% unemployment rate I hope it is not being proposed to create jobs. The private sector is doing fine on its own in creating real jobs. I like the public private part of the proposal but I hate the 200 billion of Fed spending for it unless there is a real offset
The crumbling infrastructure can has been kicked down the road for decades and has finally reached the desk of a President who admits that there is a problem. A tough decision. If he promotes fixing the problem he’ll get skewered because of the cost, if he does nothing and bridges continue to collapse, he’ll get blamed too.
A day of reckoning is coming with our ability to service the nations debt in the face of rising interest rates.
At face value, I don’t like the sound of this. However, I’m going to step out of the box and look at this from another view.
What if the RIGHT honchos were overseeing this? (I know...communism is fine...it’s just that the right people weren’t in charge before.) Trump’s passion is construction: “Under budget; ahead of schedule”. I want to think he’ll bring some personal savvy to this.
So far a number of Trump’s departments have whacked some deadwood which demonstrates to me at least a path toward going LEAN.
For instance, if new and/or upgraded transportation routes come to pass, won’t that save on commuter time burning fuel waiting for six light changes to take place to get through an intersection?
