Seems that a year or two ago, the mantra was “invest in education...”
Since that idea didn’t fly very well and their are no jobs to invest in educating for, they rehashed the plan and are now wanting to invest in infrastructure. Always looking for way to legitimize more government spending.
So sorry. We gave at the office, in 2009, to the tune of $767 billion. It's not our fault if ALMOST NONE OF THAT MONEY WAS SPENT ON INFRASTRUCTURE.
More debt? These people are insane.

Pretty much this. The infrastructure bank is a bunch of hooey.
It’s not spending, it’s investing!
Something tells me if they could do this honestly why did we bother publicly financing the highways with an obscene gas tax?
This is just another avenue for government to control more of the private sector with the attending corporate socialism.
It’s GE-Obama on a much grander scale.
