Now, if we cast our gaze back to the campaign, Candidate Trump proposed spending up to $1 Trillion dollars on Infrastructure projects. He said, in fact, that this is what distinguished him from a traditional Republican because he wanted to spend money to put Americans back to work.
The timing was, from a business stand-point, quite positive. Interest rates are very very low and there are lots of things that need fixing or building. Our last big bouts of Infrastructure construction or repair were during the 1930s great depression under Franklin Roosevelt (to help with the great depression) and under Dwight Eisenhower (dealing with unemployment after World War II).
So we have lots of failing infrastructure that we need help with.
So what was the President's $1,000,000,000,000.00 plan?
And we know it is atrue $1 Trillion dollar plan because Sarah Huchabee Sanders told us the President is not a liar.
He dribble out two half formed thoughts, like a baby trying to eat Gerber Pears. First, privatize Air Traffic Control. Second, "reduce the oversight" directed towards construction. Because, apparently the reason bridges are falling down is that cities have too many restrictions to repair?
Hazah!
