Dumbassery is contagious. Ben Shapiro ruminates in it:

Trump’s infrastructure plan is a farce, and it’s fleecing of the public good in favor of pushing wealth to the rich.
That’s not what FDR’s infrastructure plans were.
Let’s see what FDR plans built:
WPA - everything from things like Jones Beach, National Park System infrastructure, bridges and tunnels from the Triborough Bridge, to the parkways.
CCC - National Park infrastructure, etc.
REA - national electrification project.
TVA - supplies water and power to much of the Southeast (and provided power to Oak Ridge, which enabled construction of Manhattan Project and post-war nuclear research/manufacturing facilities
Etc.
GOP solution at the time was…. crickets.
Worse than crickets - “Let it burn”
