re: Not sure how I feel about the forthcoming nfrastructure stimulus.

Fiscal conservatism isn't just about spending less. It's about spending in ways which result in more government income in the future. There are tons of things which need to be cut long before ceasing to spend money on critical infrastructure.

Nod nod wink wink....I'll play along my friend....I don't care what the money is spent on....just borrow it and spend it....if y'all need to feel like it is fiscally conservative to do so go ahead...if it makes you happy it can't be that bad!!!! We are finally all on the same page....Keynes is right....austerity be damned...cut taxes, borrow money and spend like a drunken sailor, and tell the rest of the world they can kiss our rusty red buttocks....they are on their own....we aren't making this country great again we are making it truly great for the first time!!!!! Our greatness in the past was based on good works....it will be based in reality this time around...and in reality strength is all that matters and there has never been a stronger nation....

The Ideological difference between Obama and Trump is polar, FL. Obama sees 'community organizing' as an essential aspect of 'infrastructure' building. He see NO relationship whatever - in terms of true economic value - in spending money and getting a real service or good in return from the recipient of said expenditure.

Trump's - and many individuals - are essentially, genetically inclined to be averse to such a form of 'economic' policy. In fact, they see it as not only inefficient, but borderline immoral and impractical. Genes rule; there are two different - and polar - economic character personalities manifest (generalization) in individuals. Such being people who find spiritual satisfaction in SPENDING money...and those who find joy in SAVING money. Not a jab or character judgment...just an observation. Both have potential merit.

My guess...Trump DEMANDS real value for expenditure. His genes will drive him...not politics; or at least to a great degree. That will be good for our Nation. It is never a good thing to spoil your children, or let them believe they are owned everything - equality, as a matter of morality - but owe nothing to the Society upon which they make their (moral) demand.

The societal benefit to paid workers who build a bridge is immediate, but temporary, C. As such payment needs to be maintained. But the bridge last a long time. The right kind of paying and building can a long way toward benefiting our Nation as a whole.

Same with the Military, and Medicare. Tons of abuse, fraud, cronyism, etc. Trump has made his promise/boast; now we'll see if he delivers. He'd better, if he wants his head carved on Rushmore; the hair alone will be a negative toward that end.
