I personally would rather see badly needed infrastructure spending that creates good paying jobs then more tax cuts for the rich who frankly, are the only demographic that are doing extremely well in this country.
Why don’t states pay for their own infrastructure?
I agree. Is it not idealogical enough for anyone? No dog whistles?
Why, why, why are we not doing it? Obama wanted to do infrastructure. Congress blocked it, because they didn't want Obama to get credit for doing anything that actually needs to be done.
Now we've got military spending soaring (why?), the never-happening wall, and trade wars.
Why won't anyone do infrastructure? Does it make too much sense?
One of these days a bridge is going to collapse, or some other disaster and then we'll talk about it again.
Why don’t states address their own infrastructure instead of creating massive Federal- enabled boondoggles ?
The massive tax cuts for business and the wealthy from the right are just as much of the problem as the massive spending proposals from the left. Both parties are going to have to come together and realize that if the budget is to be balanced spending will have to go DOWN and taxes will have to go UP. Neither side will get all they want.
The problem is welfare. Cut welfare and balance the budget.
No outrage when Obama added 10 trillion to the deficit when he was in office
Which came from the two wars + getting out of the recession, but I do love how right wingers always leave that out.
