There have been outlines of what is planned already and the huge bulk of it is 'public-private partnerships'. That's fancy political talk for 'private capital buys and profits from infrastructure in any way they can while the public retains all risk of something getting hosed up and dealing with/paying for the problems'.

Just don't forget to emphasize things like entrepreneurship, innovation, and wealth creation as you loot the public coffers.

The UK government tried the whole Private Finance Initiative thing, except it has blown up in their face when Carillion (one of the biggest firms in the PFI project) collapsed a few weeks ago with a massive pension deficit and insolvent balance sheet. Despite the government knowing they were on financial difficulties since mid 2017 they continued to feed them contracts. A lot of other smaller firms were reliant on Carillion subcontracts so not only do we have a lot of public sector infrastructure projects stalled like hospitals etc, but more firms are probably going to end up insolvent as a consequence. So basically lol at that plan.

We are unironically short of immigrants, to the point where our government and the press will release a report on Monday saying "We've stopped all these people coming in, isn't it wonderful!" and then on Tuesday "We can't run the hospitals, schools, factories or pick the crops due to a lack of people!". That actually happened, verbatim, last week. It's like watching a mass schizophrenia event.

Here in North Carolina the last two seasons, farmers have been having a hell of a time finding folks to work the fields. ICE starts deporting migrant workers and the locals (even the dirt poor ones) aren't willing to take up the slack.

If the government were to do it after studies and analysis, well that's just straight up tyranny.

Nunes was also allegedly present The bigwig breakfast on Jan 18, 2017 that Nunes and others attended was not the summer 2016 or December 2016 meetings where the Gulen kidnapping was discussed. This (non) story is not quite a year old - granted, that's about 8 years in TrumpTime  Cavusoglu also 'met with' Mattis around the same time as Nunes 'met with' Cavusoglu.

CNN reporting now about how “dozens of WH officials” still don’t have full clearances, and some interviewees talking about how Kushner’s investigation probably wouldn’t have taken this long if there wasn’t a whole lot of questions. Also apparently Kushner is the person who reads the daily intel briefs.

As I recall, it was conservative lawmakers (particularly in the house) dragging their heels that stopped Obama from going into Syria after the red line idiocy. Not that I think that was really a bad idea, as sticking our dick into yet another hornet's nest in the middle East without any real path to a better state of affairs seems like a real bad loving idea, but what the gently caress do I know.
