IMO, Rush is hitting this one a little thin. (Golf analogy there)

Obie and Dems are always pushing "infrastructure". They think the economic cycle is like "if we build it, they will come". They have it backwards. The things they want to put first should come at the end of the end of the economic cycle in response to an expanded tax base, a growing population, etc, etc. All things that are a result of private sector economic growth.

Obie and Dems are always pushing "infrastructure".

"Infrastructure" = more public jobs

Their main goal is to GROW the public sector at the behest of the private sector. This has really nothing to do with the economic health of our country. Just incremental steps toward the real goal of having all wealth and production controlled by Fed Gov. If EVERY job is a public sector job, Fed Gov can tell YOU what your lot in life is going to be......

Exactly. Keynesian vs Supply-side.
