It should also be pointed out that a conservative (John F. Kennedy) proposed that investment.

Trump does not ever have to worry about money problems. Every week a man from "overseas" will be showing up with a brown shopping bag full of rubles.........er, cash.

The irony of receiving this sort of message on a government investment originally designed to maintain communication networks in the event of a war amuses me.

Meanwhile my house is probably being powered by a dam that was also a government investment.

Nice talking point that has absolutely nothing to do with reality. Given that a government investment even makes it possible for you to say such nonsense never even touches you does it?

The difference is that we actually try to pay for these things.

Correct. No doubt he will veto this monstrosity, and demand a balanced budget.

Lets hope so, the Republicans are really just con artists, they are lucky to opposed by someone as weak and ridiculous as the Democrats. This budget is a monstrous waste of taxpayer money, but they all have have their fingers out for money for their states

Neither did Ford's decision to not build a new plant in Mexico but to use an existing one for Focus production, doesn't stop the the Trumpettes with crediting it to him. Or is that just part of the real news Trumpettes would prefer not be broadcast?

Then you and your Big Government cohorts should be very happy. Or is nine trillion not enough?
