re: #537 Targetpractice

Then I’m buying more popcorn.

Honestly, I expect all the deficit hawkishness to go away within the next year or so. Suddenly deficits won’t matter again, we’re gonna start borrowing like crazy to afford all of Trump’s spending, but it’ll be spending that we’re told will pay massive dividends. Tax cuts, tax credits, “investments,” and of course “rebuilding” the military. Reagan created a shitload of jobs by “rebuilding” the military. Funny how they all went away as soon as the Cold War ended…

Trillion dollar infrastructure plan. That’s what I’ve seen floated.

Spending that much on infrastructure would be awesome, and help reduce the backlog of crumbling infrastructure around the nation, from rail and bridges and tunnels, but expect most of the money to fuel road-building (especially the toll-variety). Mass transit and inner city infrastructure? Not so much - because the GOP will exact their revenge by under-funding urban areas, which didn’t vote for them.
