Hillary Clinton Calls for Additional $275 Billion to Modernize Infrastructure Nationwide

[DemocratSinceBirth]

Hillary Clinton unveiled a five-year, $275 billion plan today to rebuild and modernize the nation's infrastructure, which she says will be a "down payment on our future."

"To build a strong economy for our future we must start by building strong infrastructure today, and putting you and your members to work," Clinton said. "I have a five-year, $275 billion plan to invest on our infrastructure, create good paying jobs and build the future America deserves. This would be on top of what the Congress should finally get around to authorizing. This is a down payment on our future."

Clinton's plan, which she unveiled at the launch of "Hard Hats for Hillary" at Faneuil Hall in downtown Boston, would include the creation of an infrastructure bank and would be paid for by a "business tax reform," according to her campaign. The release of her plan marks the beginning of her campaign's month-long focus on jobs.

6. Getting American back to work

flood the market with good paying jobs and people who want to spend. The spending public, creates other jobs...banks, accountants, hotels, home builders, carpet mfg, appliances, foods, furniture, electronics etc etc etc.

More importantly, the infrastucture really needs some TLC....concrete crumbling, bridges precarious, freeways to be expanded. It's time.

10. Bernie proposed $1 trillion, and we need more than that

Hillary's me too lite is just pathetic.

11. In reality, no one is being serious about the true cost of fixing our country's infrastructure.

4-6 trillion is the real number and possibly more. It's probably a 2-3 decade project too.
