Trump:We spent 6 trillion in ME; that could rebuild US twice.

Morning Joe replayed a section of the Lesley Stahl's Trump interview and I was just stunned by the imagery of "we could have rebuilt our country twice".

Well, lets not forget at who's insistence we spent that money...republicans. George Bush and his wars of lies.

You can tell a lot about a people, when they would rather bomb and destroy innocent people than provide health care. (and then they tell us all lives are precious...what a fucking crock that is.)

This country is becoming more vile and disgusting by the day. Next time someone spouts off about how "great" this country is I'm gonna spit in their face.

True! It is time we draw down some of our overseas commitment and come home to the Rust Belt.

It is heart rending to observe some of the blight which exist there.

However, can Trump get his fellow repubs to go along with this infrastructure rebuilding. In the past they have been obstructionists.

No. In Kansas they cut taxes for the upper crust to almost zero, and what happened was tax revenues plumeted and now they struggle to fund anything and property and sales taxes, which impact the lower classes the most have gone through the roof.

There will be no money for infrastructure. Only bombs.

"The last UN weapons inspectors left Iraq in October of 1998.

Well, lets get the Chinese to finance the rebuilding. The Chinese to whom we have sold out the country, have been building infrastructure like crazy all over the world.

Bush-2, Cheney, and Wolfowitz et Cie oversaw the debacle that was regime change via OIF on the cheap.
Pretty much everyone seemed to be in the bag for removing Saddam, based on hysteria and misinfornation. After all, what could possibly go wrong?

They were obstructionists because they did not want to let an African-American President credit for anything. Now that the GOP has a white guy they will be running to hand him an infrastructure bill. Being decent Americans Pelosi and Schumer will probably support it.
