Actual socialism via the infrastructure bill

reshape the discussion around capitalism

This type of language is straight from the mouth of an academic lunatic with a PHD that knows nothing about our economy except that our government doesn't do enough. No fret it's a new way of marketing more of the same, it just hits the libs in the feels.

It places a big bet on the ability of the federal government to drive sustained economic growth at a time when confidence in institutions is low.

Actual socialism

Name one time this has ever been successful in history and let to better conditions than capitalism in America.

The White House is pushing an infrastructure bill that could reshape the discussion around capitalism as it seems to reestablish the federal government as a primary driver of how the economy should grow and function.

The actual infrastructure part of the proposal does this crap even.

Think about it.

States have to hire the work crews to actually build the projects (highways, roads, bridges, etc.). The States will be reliant on the Fed $ to pay these workers and the Fed $/programs for the benefits to the workers. This makes the individual States servants of/to the Fed.

Even if States do the usual old "bid for projects" there will still be an increased demand for State employees to oversee, record, file, all the behind the scenes stuff. Payment on the contracts bidded out will be reliant on the Fed $ sent to the States. More State level employment again, also reliant on the Fed paying the State to maintain.

How many States also have state employee protections against termination? Unlike private business which can hire/fire At Will, States may have legislated worker protections making it difficult to terminate workers. In those cases it makes States long term reliant on the Fed $.

Basically the drug addiction scheme of things: Free taste of the heroin man, come on take it!
