Trump Getting Rolled Again..."Infrastructure" = Pork

[Tumblin Tumbleweed]

Yeah, Peloski and Schumer the shoe salesman are totally going to bargain in good faith, on a bill that will end up spending over $2 trillion...And I have a bridge int Manhattan I want to sell you.

This whole mess can be done better and at lower bureaucratic expense by state and local operators.

I've been saying this for years. There is no reason why the federal government needs to be funding infrastructure spending nor do I see any Constitutional authorization for it. There is no reason the states cannot maintain their own infrastructure. Scrap the federal gas tax and let the states self fund their infrastructure needs.

Isn't the whole reason the feds are involved in infrastructure is because the states are doing a terrible job at it?

Are they?

The US scored a D+ in infrastructure according to a 2017 American Society of Civil Engineers report. I'd say that's pretty piss poor for the richest country in the world.

 

[rightwinger]

Some states do a good job with infrastructure, some states are cheap

Then shouldn’t the residents of those states take that up with their state governments?

All states need federal assistance for major projects

Why is that?

Could Arizona afford the Hoover Dam?
Could Tennessee afford the TVA?
Could Mississippi afford a wooden footbridge over a small creek?

BTW, "infrastructure spending" being an alleged economic boon is a rehash of the old and thoroughly debunked Keynesian "broken window" theory of economics, and its mythical "multiplier effect".

I would prefer paying down the debt to spending vast amounts of money on this boondoggle.

Much of the debt is held by the Fed....It's way past time to tell them to fuck off.

Trump loves "Chuck and Nancy" almost as much as he loves spending other people's money.

Trump's entire family funded Chuck's first three Senate runs.

And Trump went on national TV to tell the world how much he liked Nancy and how he wished she would impeach Dubya for lying about WMDs.


Hail, hail, the gang's all here!

"BOHICA!"

Nothing new, Trump is a Democrat. The spending is absolutely ridiculous and instead of spending more, we need to cut and cut and cut. We are going the wrong way and both parties love the spending which in turn creates more power.

 

[caddo kid]

he is a liar; you can tell that because his lips are moving.

Every time his lips move he lies.

thats true of just about any politician.....

But, you must know, just as every AmeriKKKan knows that Trump is BETTER at everything so, Trump is the BEST LYING POLITICIAN of all.

Trump's ego would NOT allow him to be a lesser LIAR; Trump is the BEST at EVERYTHING, even lying.

Trump knows that, I know that; you may NOT know it but one day you might, if you bother to pay any attention to what the Hell goes on in this shithole country ..........

i pay attention caddo....i just deal with it better than you do apparently.....like i can accept the results of an election and deal with it instead of crying about it for 4 years....and if you dont like living here there are hundreds of other "shitholes" out there to move to....

I said nothing about moving. Both my late father & my late mom's families came here from European nations back in the late 1700s/early 1800s.
If anything Trump can go move his ass & his reality TV shithole family to Haiti, or better yet, to fucking Israel.
I read somewhere they really like assholes in Israel; Trump & his shithole family should do well there.
Maybe they could get asylum at the US embassy in Israel .............

like i said....some of us can except the results of an election and deal with it....others?...

Accept? I think you might mean 'accept' ................... maybe ...........

The debt is entirely held by American companies and private citizens in addition to foreign companies and private citizens. What you're proposing it to have the Fed fuck these people over.

Detroit paid for the infrastructure of the whole state of Michigan

Without Detroit, it would be dirt roads and outhouses

And soon Detroit will be nothing but dirt roads and outhouses.

Detroit has downsized and is coming back

Sure, just saying it's making a comeback doesn't make it true...dumbass.
Is Detroit Really Experiencing a Full Recovery? - CityLab

dunno about overall but for grins i did a zillow home search and wow. so many run down falling over homes at $1k. something under 1k sq ft and certainly clean is around $40k.

they got a long way to go to get to recovery.

They sure do
They are constructing in size and those $1k homes are in abandoned neighborhoods

Detroit will never return to its former glory but they are making progress to remain a viable city

Yep...Democratic ran Detroit.

Trump is no problem. He won the election, has survived attacks by the Socialist-Democratic Party and their liberal media propaganda wing. He = “Making America Great Again.”
