This is like when, back in the early Obama era Republicans were yapping about how could we possibly rehabilitate the National Mall? It's just a giant money suck! Except, you know, for all the contractors and laborers and landscapers and the like who will, like, earn money to do a job.

Demand for 737 tickets will certainly stall.

The comment was essentially, "Why should we care? We won't get anything out of it and we'll be gone in a few years, so why would we want to build anything for the future?"

Obviously fake. There's black kid running and none of these fucking crackers are shooting at him.

I want to know if leech farms fall within Laura’s definition of infrastructure.

DON’T SAY “TRANS” HIGHWAY or nothing will ever get done.

Maybe a progressive tax based on the value of the car?

That’s why infra is generally bipartisan, because it gives EVERYONE an opportunity to belly up to the pork trough. But that’s not a bad thing by definition, as long as the spread is fair and for valid projects. As long as it gets everyone on board.

Maybe. Remember Mike Harris? He got into power by talking about all the great things he was gonna do for his northerner homies, then as soon as he got the job he moved the whole family to Toronto and basically told everyone living north of Huntsville to get knotted. And they RE-ELECTED him.

If she thinks broadband and housing aren't infrastructure, she should be willing to forego both to show us why they aren't necessary.

Between Individual-1 doubling down on "very fine people" over the weekend, Mueller calling Barr out, Bar obstructing justice and perjuring himself in front of the Senate, and Barr being too cowardly to even show up for the House, I'd say it's the most Infrastructure-Week-y Infrastructure Week we've had in a long time.

MULVANEY: I explain infrastructure as a pipe, and you put money in one end of the pipe and then asphalt and bridges come out the other end of the pipe," he said. "Right now that pipe is 10 years long."

This is actually correct! The time to have invested in infrastructure was ten years ago.

Remind me: who was POTUS then, how much did he propose spending on infrastructure, and which party refused to fund anywhere near that much?
