Gee I wonder what could go wrong with this idea? (sarcasm off)
This is intended to be a slush fund to finance projects that benefit Democratic Union workers, who will turn those “living wage salaries” into campaign donations, while saving Politicians in both parties the embarrassment of defending horribly expensive and wasteful Gubment projects through the normal budgetary process.
What could go wrong? We can always use another slush fund to pay of Zero’s allies.

By any other name that would be toll booths and ‘user fees’. And of course extending and raising the federal gas tax.
Looks like Palin will have to round up the Chamber of Commerce too. That’s okay, their whole existence at the national level is about corporate crony capitalism.
Didn’t we spend $800 billion two years ago on “shovel ready” infrastructure jobs? Wasn’t that a colossal failure?
The GOP will sell us out again.
Yeah, an “independent” agency with a blank taxpayer credit card...... what is the wort that can happen?
Biggest political slush fund ever.
Union tools will be rejoicing at this...gotta wonder what the CoC sees in it????

Agreed! If this is such a great idea, then why didn’t they use some of the 800 billion for it? It seems like every 2 years (elections) this administration comes up with expensive projects and gets lots of campaign contributions for scratching the backs of unions.
Somebody please get Trumka and his goons some bibs. They are all drooling uncontrollably. Again.
Infrastructure Bank , more like a “Pork Barrel Bank”
So the money will go to Unions then back to the dems! ‘Cause if Trumka is for it!???
“In 2008, organized labor’s get-out-the-vote efforts were critical to Obama’s election. And as the president’s reelection campaign begins its push to increase participation among the Democratic base, labor could play a big role.
But after a string of high-profile disappointments, including the president’s failure to push through bills overhauling immigration laws and making it easier to organize unions, Trumka said he has repeatedly warned Obama that union members may be less than energized about his reelection.”
This article was from August 25th. Afew days later he announce the ifrastructure bank with Trumka at his side. I wonder who REALLY came up with this idea?
I just don’t see how something like this can be set up without the approval of Congress. This is really beyond the pale - Obama needs to be stopped, big time.
-——a slush fund to finance projects-——
or campaigns..... remember
The Democrat party is a criminal enterprise
.
It’s just a scheme to get around the debt ceiling LOL!
Heck, if another trillion for ‘infrastructure’- after just spending nearly a trillion- is such a winner sell it honestly... as more federal debt.
Yeah man: a vest and a ‘slow/stop’ pole for me and a bill for my progeny for a hundred years...
