If Trump proposed to sell every asset he had, spend every dime of his own money and his children's money to build infrastructure, Bernie and his ilk would find a way to criticize it.
Trump is not taking the $400,000 a year president's salary -- giving the money back to the people.
I see Bernie is keeping his overpaid salary and government benefits and building a new luxurious home. How many jobs has Bernie actually ever created while living so well for decades off the peoples' money?
I know a guy in Nigeria who has a lot of money to give you. But I'll need your bank account number to complete the transaction...
In know you need a safe space right now, but until the sky is ACTUALLY falling I'm betting that tax cuts will help the economy. There is an established track record of it.
We've been trying tax breaks for the wealthy for 36 years. Is it working?
GOP hates spending government money on infrastructure.... but if you use private-public partnerships, there won't be any public money. The government would let companies bid on a project for the rights to design-build-operate-maintain the structure. The company would have the ability to charge fees/tolls/etc for its use.
Yes we are finally constructing the Portsmouth [Ohio] By-Pass called the Veterans Highway that was designed in 1958 through a public private partnership ...
Is this the same Bernie Sanders that supported Obama's Stimulus bill and offered his own 1 trillion infrastructure spending plan during his campaign?
THAT Bernie Sanders?
Flaming political hack and hypocrite.
Bernie must of been asleep when Obama's Trillion Dollar Baby didn't really create any shovel ready jobs and Barry laughed about it while we get the bill...
Oh yea, just endless tax cuts for the big money donors and his friends will sure trickle down to the rural working class of America! 40 years of trickle down and the people still havent had enough pain, some people just want to suffer the boot of the billionaire class some more! You are better off sending your money straight to Carl Icahn than voting for these puppets. They dont care about you, they laugh at the gullible voters.
Or just sending it directly to Wall Street like we have been doing the last eight years.

Tax breaks on personal wealth and taxes on business are two separate things, you really need to separate the two.
As I have already pointed out it's sitting offshore because in a global economy a business cannot be taxed by every country because there would be nothing left. Apple for example has an estimated 200 billion sitting offshore, if they can bring that money into the country at lower or no tax that is wealth flowing back into this country. Those funds can be used for investment here or used to pay stockholders.
Before you get wound up about the stockholders understand they would pay tax on it and those stockholders are you, me and everyone else in one way or another. Those people are business owners and consumers who have more money in their pocket to either invest or spend.
If you want the economy to boom tax policies that are friendly instead of punitive to business are imperative, taxing the personal income of wealthy people is whole other topic.

I have no desire to see stockholders get paid for jobs that were moved offshore. The only way I would allow this money back is if it's 100% invested in created jobs here.

How the money is being made is indeed also important.

I'm not familiar with it, but from what I'm reading now, the recommendation to go with a public private partnership was only made in 2013? And the idea for the roadway began in the 60s?
