don't see a whole lot in it to explain the cost per section. $20bil for transformative projects? all seems pretty vague at this point so i'll wait til more is known but yea, getting tired of the spending spree and hoped trump would curb that. he came in strong against boeing and then spent like a drunken sailor.Even if you give this thing the benefit of the doubt and assumed zero pork, it still looks like a 2 trillion dollar pile of who gives a f***. We might as well purchase 2 trillion dollars worth of carnival prizes. Who gives a shit about anything listed there and why should we add 2 trillion dollars to either taxes or debt?

More waaaah waaaaah It's Obama's fault bullshit from the can I goose Trump gallery.We must as a national security issue update and secure our grid and Ethernet...it was all ignored by the Magic Kenyan....half of this money are dollars we should have been spending on infrastructure during Obama's 8 years.....he fucked us and didn't spend the dollars for what it was intended....remember?...he put Joe in charge...so someone ask Joe Biden what they did with the stimulus money....I'd love to hear his answer....
i would have to hope that's a subset somewhere. our electrical grid and roadways system needs some serious modernizing.They're not going to fix the roads or the bridges?Even if you give this thing the benefit of the doubt and assumed zero pork, it still looks like a 2 trillion dollar pile of who gives a f***.

we seem to get into so much these days it's hard to tell where lines are anymore. but good point and i'll research that while digging.i would have to hope that's a subset somewhere. our electrical grid and roadways system needs some serious modernizing.They're not going to fix the roads or the bridges?Even if you give this thing the benefit of the doubt and assumed zero pork, it still looks like a 2 trillion dollar pile of who gives a f***.

The electric grid is owned by utilities, I don't think we can subsidize utilities. Maybe ensuring that all electric grids are "hack proof" or implementing the "smart grid" would be possible?
What is the Smart Grid?

True, but Trump has many union supporters. Remember when the dems stopped all pipeline work? Also, remember when Obama said "those manufacturing jobs are not coming back?" Trump delivers good jobs for unions, the dems' talk a good game, but their record is poor trade deals, and letting jobs get outsourced.The Democrats want to use it to pay back, and incentivize UNIONS to continue voting for them. It is just a money laundering scheme to use taxpayer dollars to buy votes.
This proposal is from the Trump administration..The Democrats want to use it to pay back, and incentivize UNIONS to continue voting for them. It is just a money laundering scheme to use taxpayer dollars to buy votes.

America used to make a lot of shit that other folks around the world wanted aka goods.
AmeriKKKa no longer makes shit that others around the world want; everyone now wants cheap shit made in China.
Now, AmeriKKKa is really GREAT at making DEBT, which no one seems to want but no one is really bitching about it either, although the Republicans used to bitch about debt.
So, we are GREAT at making debt so, why not add $2 TRILLION more to the credit card that the kids, the grand kids, the great grand kids, etc. will have to reckon with, one day? ...............

Untrue as the system build by the feds to imitate the nazis was called the interstate system.
Hey, increased Pell grants for education...Free education from Trump the socialist.
It will like the pockets of an army of bureaucrats....That's good news for them, the rest of us not so much.Even if you give this thing the benefit of the doubt and assumed zero pork, it still looks like a 2 trillion dollar pile of who gives a f***.

Also, about 20% of the highway trust fund (monies that are supposed to go for roads and bridges) is hijacked to pay for money-sucking urban mass transit choo-choos, that almost nobody but bums ride.Here is a good example how the Infrastructure funding could be leveraged to provide a long term revolving fund to address critical needs, such as sewer, water, bridge, airport, flood control, railroad, tunnels, and other types of projects, such as urban renewal. The funds are NOT all grants, but a combination of grants and loans to make the projects viable.

Similarly, there is another option for funding such as "Public-Private-Partnership" where a conglomerate/team of businesses can bid on a project, complete the project, and then sell/lease the project to the government who pays an annual "mortgage" to buy the project from the PPP team. The government saves money by paying a smaller mortgage rather than a big bill for the whole project.
Funding for the infrastructure $2T needs to be via a gas tax, and by raising the top tax rate. I support new taxes, such as a transaction tax on stock sales, a remittance tax on money sent out of the US, and lastly, if needed to balance the Budget, a 3% Federal sales tax. Then they need to use the "fixes" to save Medicare and SS. That should put the US on a fantastic track going forward.
