I love the people who support more infrastructure without tax increases. I bet if you asked those same people if they supported cutting defense, social security, and Medicare to pay for it they would also say no. They probably think we can pay for it by cutting funding for NPR.

Some of you communist
Some of you communist wannabees (Silver Spoon Socialists) don't actually understand how 'infrastructure' actually happens.
Yes, slimy politicians are involved, whatever label they call themselves. They take the bribes and make a Municipal Bond Issue.
The actual work is accomplished by Construction and Engineering firms that pay Tax for the ability to work, and they pay the workers to dig holes, move concrete, put steel in places, pave the road.

Don't matter what label or stripe the Dirtbag politicians call themselves.
They don't actually do any Work. They suck tax dollars and make noise.
Actual Workers build the stuff and pave the roads.
Politicians suck up Tax money and blather endless bullshit. They have nicer Suits compared to the Asphalt worker.

So if I trade you a half-Cord of split Oak Firewood for a Cow, is that "Socialism" or just free trade?
Everyone is brainwashed to label normal commerce with their favorite political stamp.
I trade you a Bushel of Rye for some other thing, and if you talk politics, Deal's over.

Of course, but how many asphalt workers can design a road, figure out where it will go, and assemble the money to pay those asphalt workers?
That's why we hire those politicians, slimy or not. Then they hire the engineers and pavers.

My point is that the politicians don't actually accomplish much. sure, they demand Graft / kickbacks and so forth, but never actually hold a shovel.

That would look like my Barn driveway and Woods roads. Not pretty.
However, my Dad was a Civil engineer and built many roads, bridges and Stuff all over the place.
He hired me to do menial jobs here and there, like fetching concrete samples from the Cement plant.
Anyway, I'm somewhat familiar with the process of building a Bridge or highway... Dad was pretty good about constructing Bridges that would not fall down.

Interesting article, Slack, that leads to many questions. Should he have not met those kids in without the necessary infrastructure first being in place? What would the backlash have been if he didn't? How did the media get in there when Stalin was keeping them out?

Along with replacing Obama care with something better, this was another one of Trumps big campaign promises, but I guess golf was more important, and this is one would of been so easy for him to pull off. Golf and berating people on Twitter was the only things he did well.
and now the GOQ wants no part in it. They have slowly put their necks in the noose and are soooo close to kicking the bucket out from under themselves

as backwards as we are down here in Florida at least every day is great with clear skies lots of greenery, the outside of buildings are clean no pot holes on our roads, cars in great shape on the roads, our water ways are second to none. Every time I get past Charlotte NC I start noticing the grey skies, the dirty soot stained filthy buildings, and filthy cars. Precisely why I will never leave the south.
and did I mention all the beautiful women and bikinis?
