Whatever it takes to get him reelected. I am so done with the idea of trying to get the deficit under control. It’s a Fool’s errand
If they do, then they should be calling for the annihilation of the Democrat Party.
As long as none of it goes for current proposed high speed rail projects and they fill some potholes around here,, show me the money!! Oh, and no money for any Musk, Bezos or Soros ventures they try to weasel into.
Besides that, a trillion is a good start for what this country needs ‘bones’ improvement wise.
I favor that spending, provided the money comes form the dissolution of several unnecessary departments and agencies!
An important part of infrastructure that doesn’t cost a whole bunch but is very useful would be to replace and upgrade the nationwide weather monitoring systems, under very strict rules, and the provision that if their station or surroundings are changed out of standards, that the station data is no longer official until they are in a new standard complying location. Nor can extrapolations or interpolations be made of their actual data, as part of the data.
It might be wise, given how frequently the knee jerk Never Trumpers like Allahpundit have been spanked, for them to wait and see what is actually IN the plan before going into hysterics.
That anyone pays any attention to this chicken little clown is a mystery to rational thinking adults.
Why can’t the US Govt float Infrastructure Bonds like they did War Bonds during WWII? I’d buy one.
Having world class infrastructure is required for world class manufacturing. I’ve never been against spending money on it as I see how well it works out for Germany, Japan, and China. My problem is the people in charge of spending it. I have a lot more confidence with a builder like President Trump at the helm.
What all is involved in the Infrastructure Project and when will it officially start?
Will it run concurrently with the Energy Independence Project?
Will the two projects interfere with each other?
Wait until they’re told that they’re private toll roads, and they’ll be paying 30 to 50 cents per mile for driving on them.
Might change some views...

NO!
I fully believe President Trump can cut a trillion dollars out of the budget over four years, so a trillion dollar infrastructure bill, if they are good productive investments, would be easy to afford without getting into more debt. If we grow the economy at 4% four eight years without substantially getting into more debt, we can pay it off with much less pain.
