You're right, the deficit will go up as it always does in a slow economy when tax revenues decrease. But the spending he proposes on infrastructure is temporary and in the discretionary portion of the budget. The math problems you mentioned are not with discretionary spending which is only 40% of Federal spending, but rather non-discretionary entitlement spending which constitutes about $100 trillion of unfounded liability. Chew on that, and tell me how we pay those future bills.
There are big math problems there too, chief. As in there's nothing more permanent than "temporary" taxes or spending.
There's STILL no such thing as free lunch.
Temporary debt spending, not temporary taxes, squaw.
