Holy shite...Elaine Chao is cratering on Hannity

Are you opposed to foreign money investing in US infrastructure?

Seriously what the frick. Trump has been cheering foreign companies bringing money and jobs to the US.

And...

Dude where have you been on corporate inversion? Trump wants to bring that money back home specifically this project. There is what 4 trillion sitting on the sidelines?

Clearly you gentlemen don't understand how public/private (foreign) investments into bridges and roads work. If they(investor/foreign) are pouring money into the infrastructure projects it's for Profit. The roads and bridges will become tolls with automatic increases built in on a yearly or as needed (more often) basis. Profits will not stay with the state/federal DOTs but go back to the investors(foreign). Thereby insuring that no money for future projects. So now you are beholden to finance future projects with this same formula. So money you paid in taxes will help build the road and any profits from tolls will not stay home but go line someone else pockets.

I have no problem with it, but Chao clearly did.

Actually, I saw her on a tv interview a few days ago make the same statement. She tried to correct herself about three or four words after she said but it made my ears perk up.
