Well, I’m not a “libtard,” whatever that is, but it’s really quite simple. When you invest in infrastructure, it provides more opportunities for jobs down the line. That’s what the New Deal did, quite successfully. You used debt-based investment today to enable more productivity later. Or, that’s what Eisenhower did quite successfully as well when he proposed the Interstate Highway System. It’s actually quite normal in the business world as well; Ford retooled its line and rebuilt its competitiveness through debt financing, and as a consequence needed no bailout from the government.As for your other assumptions, let’s pick one: “raises tax on job makers.” Well, it was done by Reagan, Bush I, and Bush II with no discernible effect on jobs, so I think it is fair to say it does not work. Furthermore, taxes on the wealthy are the lowest they have been in many decades, and are higher (relatively) on the middle class than the wealthy. Given that people like Warren Buffet feel this is unfair — patriots want to contribute to the rebuilding of our economy — what’s your problem with it?
