Well, we’re certainly glad somebody finally thought of doing that.
Oh, wait:

The “#RebuildAmerica” pitch sounds awfully similar to what the administration pushed for and got in 2009, which was a “stimulus” to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars, with much of that supposedly being put towards infrastructure.
@markknoller 6 years after a stimulus bill with near zero infrastructure spending its finally important?

@WhiteHouse Wasn't the Spending Bill suppose to improve our roads and bridges with shovel ready jobs?

@exjon @markknoller Did we get even one new bridge from the 2009 #Stimulus spending spree?

@markknoller Obama chose not to do this in 2009, $800 BILLION "Stimulus", wasted instead. "Guess those jobs weren't so shovel ready." Funny
