Trump and his supporters are so desperate for his reelection that they have no problem with spending trillions of future tax payer dollars to do it...and they will try to convince everyone how "brilliant" the plan is... :shrug:

Just a matter of time until Q-U-A-D-R-I-L-L-I-O-N-S and $100 for a loaf of bread.

That's right. I don't see how that's not gonna happen. They're wrecking the Yankee buck on purpose.

Venezuela, here we come.

Yep...  One single legislator stands up to this pending economic Porkulus disaster, and even some so-called conservatives here have the nerve to villify him.  There's a reason I changed my screenshot icon.  We are getting close.

What will enslave our grandchildren is wasteful social spending...not infrastructure expenditures. Building roads, dams, rails, energy production etcetera is investing in the productivity of the nation. That pays off tremendous FISCAL dividends...social spending OTOH is a bottomless pit of wasted funds.

Agree. Everything in life requires upkeep, and when it wears out (as everything eventually does), replacement.

This is not a hard concept. America’s infrastructures are antiquated and crumbling. It’s about time America’s stuff matches it’s reputation for greatness and we join the 21st century.

Ain't it something? I swear, I thought things were different. Seems I'm best off up here in the holler

 This sounds like more of the FDR jobs creation type programs that never really got us out of the Depression


We need to stimulate the private sector. Not create a whole mess of government jobs that should probably go away anyways
I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

Here's another thought and a thought I had when Trump got elected and talked of repairing our infrastructure.  Gee ... perfect timing for constructing a superhighway connecting Mexico, the U.S. and Canada!  NAFTA superhighway anyone, or the new name would be USCMA superhighway?
I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

It wouldn't surprise me at all. He's tight with Giuliani, and Giuliani is in that crap up to his neck

Yes he is! Never trusted Giuliani and he was yet another poor choice of Trump's.

Actually, infrastructure upgrades have been on the agenda for three years.  Pelosi won't touch it and give the President a political "win" and Ryan was a waste of oxygen.

  • Ah, the air is so much fresher here...
We are rapidly bumping up against the limit of how much debt we can float on the world economy.

The Asian countries that normally buy a good chunk of our debt to recycle our dollars are in no financial position to do so now. Not that we are going to be sending them alot of dollars anyway with our own impending slow down.

Those rising interest costs will start to rapidly eat up our tax receipts that are spent on other things.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Agreed, on all counts. Oil won't pull that economic rabbit out of the hat at these prices without some major geopolitical changes, either.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
