So let me get this straight about the infrastructure plan

[mitch96]

Ok so tRump says it will cost 1.5 trillion... We just gave a tax break worth 1.5 trillion..
3 trillion, yes?? How do we pay for it?? Feds??? not so much. Local?? lots.. raise taxes..
Private investment???? Why Yes Comrade Rump!! We will spend all our "washed" money and BUY the United States.... We will own your toll roads, new trains, airports and charge for bridge crossings.. Dams? Sure, we can charge more for water.... Think GasProm in Eastern Europe holding free states hostage during the winter months...
Isn't that what crime syndicates do? Take ill gotten gains and plough it into legitimate businesses... Grrrrrrr.

1. Money will get spent on Oil and Gas Pipelines.

This is to placate the Koch's and Carl Icahn as well as a couple other Oil and Gas Billionaire's..

2. Nine years ago, Obama's infrastructure plan was $500b

And the GOP went to fucking war over it...

3. Actually there is no infrastructure plan of any kind.

The big idea at first was that the economy would grow like China's after the tax cuts and deregulation and so there would be an abundance of free money out there to "Make America Great Again". However, after only a couple of weeks they know that the tax cut won't actually make any difference except to share holders. Thus this feeble toothless suggestion by trump that will be forgotten by next week.

4. It will take a major bridge collapse or something of that magnitude to ever get them to do

anything but pay lip service to improving infrastructure in this country. There are already so many dangerous bridge and road situations in this country as it is and I don't see them getting any better under this administration.
