The money spent on Ukraine alone would have done wonders on our crumbling infrastructure



This is what gets me. I'm currently following the construction on youtube of chimney hollow reservoir. Fantastic project and one of the only reservoirs built in the last like 30 years. Its a five year construction project. They are boring huge tunnels, have their own concrete plant, rock crushing plant, asphalt plant. Building massive pipelines along with water pumps. Just an awesome project with many different components.

The cost? around 500mil.

To think we could do that project 150-350 times over with money we've send to Ukraine is wild. That's a lot of decent jobs for 5 years that results in useful infrastructure.

A trillion + $ infrastructure bill was passed in 2021. It’s actually ok to just not spend the money on anything. Since it’s not like we have the money in the first place
