Road and bridge builders might turn out to be the biggest winners of this year’s presidential election.
Both candidates have called for big new investments in infrastructure, and Republican Donald Trump now has a new plan to spend a gargantuan sum rebuilding the nation’s economic backbone: $1 trillion. Trump has said before that he’d double the infrastructure spending proposed by his Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton, whose plan calls for $275 billion in direct government spending over five years, plus another $225 billion in private investment. Trump’s new plan, drafted by economic advisors Peter Navarro and Wilbur Ross, would finance up to $1 trillion in spending over a decade.
Trump’s plan would rely heavily on private funding, with the government encouraging investment through a tax credit that would raise the return to investors and lower the cost of borrowing to states and municipalities that would oversee the projects. Unlike Clinton’s plan, there would be no need for new taxes to finance spending. Tax credits would cost the government some money, but taxes collected from the workers and companies participating in such projects would offset the costs, according to Navarro and Ross.
Trump is concerned about America. Obama on the other hand is concerned about The middle East, Wars, and empty threats to former enemies.
But we dont love ourselves & are willing to sacrifice our families to save the middle east so we will vote for Hillary. We deserve to be abused, assaulted, punished because our ancestors invaded this land. So we have to pay for their sins by handing over our future to other invaders.

infrastructure has been a Democratic Party platform staple for at least 12 years now.
At least you admit you were only voting for the letter beside the name.
It's funny how Trump is throwing out all these plans now. It's like he just realized he needs to forth substance and can't rely on blaming someone else. Too little too late.

Trump has never found it necessary to be or sound Presidential, and has never stopped pitching directly and only to his base. If he had expounded on this proposal and similar months ago, we would have been reminded that he knows little about any of it. Which for many is an OK deal.
Another reason not to vote for trump. Infrastructure spending in one of the biggest black holes for taxpayer money there is.
