Did’ja hear that Mr. Obama now wants 50 billion dollars for infrastructure (roads, bridges, maybe high-speed trains) to goose the economy before the election.
Good luck getting that 50 billion dollars, the first 50 billion really didn’t do much (you see, the massive 800 billion “Stimulus Bill” only had 50 billion in it for actual infrastructure spending).
Even if Congress passes that $50 billion, good luck seeing any concrete benefit from it (assuming there were to be any, which there wouldn’t) in time for it to change the momentum of this campaign.
Two months may be an eternity in politics, but in government action it’s the blink of an eye.
There’s also a great post at the Market Ticker:
