Japan readies package for Trump to help create 700,000 U.S. jobs
« on: February 04, 2017, 12:06:36 am »

Japan is putting together a package it says could generate 700,000 U.S. jobs and help create a $450-billion market, to present to U.S. President Donald Trump next week, government sources familiar with the plans said.

The five-part package, to be unveiled when Prime Minister Shinzo Abe visits Trump on Feb. 10 in Washington, envisage investments in infrastructure projects such as high-speed trains and cybersecurity, said the sources, who declined to be identified as they were not authorized to speak to the media.

Investing in overseas infrastructure projects dovetails with a key plank in Abe’s growth strategy, which is to export "high-quality" infrastructure technology.

Sounds good so far. Japan is an ally. No TPP idiocy needed.

Point for Trump.

Great news to firm up with Japan.
Big deals with big players. Little deals with little players.
Wonder what is the vision on high speed rail?

Seems like that's been a never ending fiasco.

Any job growth is good. But what I'd really like to hear is these infrastructure imports will be procured by private US corporations, not state and federal agencies.

Japan does it right, and they are used to travel by train. but here? America isn't traincentric. It'll either work or fail SPECTACULARLY. Their other ideas I'm looking forward to seeing.

Looks like liberals were right, government does create jobs.
