    What's your's and Biden's plan to get through the predicted coming sustained and growing inflation as the government pumps dollars out like a wild cat well and then the FED has to ramp up interest rates as Biden and the Dems slam huge tax increases of businesses and investors?

    Hmmm that greed thing again. That it was the industrious and successful generation that "got us into this predicament" and not the government as provider generations who believed they are owed this middle class standard of living even if they refuse to go out and earn it. The cries of UNFAIR so give me some of that guy money. I would venture to say the latter is what has us in this predicament.

    During my high school years I was a hardcore conservative (tho' I never registered in any political party); did everything my mom and dad told me without questioning it since all good Americans did what their parents told them to do. Once out of college and working I learned that everything they told me wasn't the way a good life to live. I saw building contractors ripping off people, not properly paying their employees properly, saw hardworking employees get let go or passed over because the bosses son needed a job or some customer complained without merit and the employee would lose his job over it or I got to watch men draw higher salary over women who did exactly the same identical work because they were a man as opposed to being a woman. Because of that and other things I witnessed, I became more liberal over the years, tho' I don't consider myself a hard core liberal. But I consider myself a left leaning moderate; very pro-labor.

    I graduated in '74 and the first president I ever voted for was Carter...Not to say Gerald Ford would've been any better but my, for example, most favorite Beatle by far was Paul McCartney for his songs and lack of political awareness saturation in his music...Ringo had no lack of political awareness in his music but he couldn't sing or write, either.:roll:

    The problem with investing in infrastructure is the socialist left piles all this crap into infrastructure (like free WIFI for tractors, the green new deal and free school pre-K through college) so that no infrastructure spending is funded and consequently the socialist left always harps about spending on infrastructure...Which can't get done 'cause the socialist left piles so much crap into infrastructure...Which is also why roads, bridges and the like are never built...Which is why the socialist left always harps about spending on infrastructure.

    He got elected because he recieved the most electoral votes. (He also recieved the most votes). Who said minorities don't don't have rights? The Constitution and Bill of Rights were crafted so that the majority do not step on the rights of the minority. When they are, the minority has legal recourse to correct an injustice.

    Trump wanted to get a deal done on infrastructure but Pelosi, for example, wouldn't work with Trump. Trump has been way surpassed on the raising of the debt by Sleepy Joe.:roll:

    Trump walked out of that deal before it even started, Trump failed, sad!

    Thump did not know the art of the deal, dems were willing to work with him, he just could not get it done, he kept tripping over his huge ego

    we will have to see, Biden still has over 3 years to go to try and catch up with Trump's debt

    As per usual, socialist dems wanted to add on to Trump's infrastructure plan with Green New Deal provisions and renewable energy provisions and, of course, more taxes.:roll:

    Have never seen anything like it. Democrats used to be nationalists and patriots but are turning a very hard left to socialism and appear to want to destroy every tradition. I was born during Eisenhower’s first year as President.

    The natural tendency of power is more control. Everyone has to fight to maintain freedom.

    Trump didn't want to deal in an infrastructure plan loaded with Green New Deal provisions, renewable energy provisions and of course more taxes for all.

    Your post that Trump (or the GOP in general) didn't or doesn't want to do infrastructure deals is obfuscation.:roll:
