I am obviously not a Trump supporter.
I wish Trump - or any future President - would create huge infrastructure projects. We can start with freeways and quickly move over to airports.
I live in California, and I like to think we have nice freeways here. But I hear the same comments over and over again - the roads in [insert country name] are so much better than what we have. Why don't we have the best freeways and highways in the world? Where I live they recent created a freeway bypass. The freeway here actually went from two lanes in each direction to one lane with stoplights right through Main Street USA. The federal government, state, and county all pitched in and spend hundreds of millions of dollars and shifted twenty miles of the freeway outside of town. This created a lot of jobs, construction materials were bought locally, and the people who got the new jobs spent money locally. It also spurred economic activity further north of us because now people can easily travel north and spend their money there.
Our airports need help too. Our Sacramento airport has the old terminal and the new terminal and the differences between them are staggering.
We should also tackle healthcare. We give millions of Americans in the US military (completely) free healthcare, and then Medicare....... Why can't we expand this to more people?
I find it hard to believe Republicans cannot get behind these items.... Instead of build a wall, how about build a lot of freeways? Bernie went to Fox News and had a town hall (or whatever) and when he said free healthcare for everyone.... everyone cheered.
