    Not only is the single payer concept wasteful, but we would be essentially stuck with it for life. Infrastructure is a one shot deal. We'd be ripping off the bandaid once.

    No...it appears the infrastructure bank will simply be a place for private capital to deposit money into the bank for the purpose of deploying that capital for infrastructure.

    Huh? lol this is getting ridiculous.

    If little money is parked in the bank, so be it. I'm a voluntarist. If a government initiates a project and opens the project to private investment and private money is not coerced, then the plan is exponentially better then a government spending plan that just prints/debtors it's way through the process.

    So, ITT Donald Trump's "Chief Strategist" proposes that we enact the bastard child of the New Deal and the Great Society, a plan apparently now backed (or at least unopposed) by some alleged fiscal conservatives, alleged small government conservatives, former libertarians, and former voluntaryists.

    This is why we keep saying stuff like...

    No, I just think there is more private money out there that WANTS to invest in America but has been legally blocked NOT TO by Fed.GOV.

    Trump has pledged specific policies and ideas that REPEAL SO MUCH OF THE $#@! PEOPLE LIKE YOU AND I HAVE BEEN RAILING ON FOR A LONG TIME (paleo/libertarian/small government/constitutionalists)

    REPEAL REPEAL REPEAL has been the mantra, overall.

    American companies have not been fleeing America because they don't want to be there...they have been fleeing bc FED.GOV has been chasing them away!!!

    Most American companies can't wait to get back to America but they've been waiting for a President to repeal hostile laws and make America a positive business environment!!!

    There are no unicorns. There are POLICIES, historical context and some basic economic reasoning that indicate that the real legal overhaul Trump has pledged turns America from the least competitive first world nation to the MOST competitive.

    Do you not see or understand that his pledged tax reform and repealing of NAFTA and just about all the regulations enacted over the last few decades turns America into a desirable hub of economic activity?

    Seriously man. He has pledged a 15% flat income and corporate tax rate. From there he has pledged further tax reductions from an already drastically lowered rate if you invest into American infrastructure.

    The amount of money that has been chased away from America in the last 25 years has been decimating to America. The reality is most if not all of this money has been itching to get back into America should the tides of policy change.

    Trump has PLEDGED a massive reversal in policy.

    I'm not talking about pink unicorns. I'm talking about hundreds of billions of dollars worldwide that at the end of the day wants to be in America but has not been because FED.GOV has chased it away.

    FED.GOV has literally attacked capital and forced it out of America.

    Trump has PLEDGED.

    Ok man got it? PLEDGED. It still needs to get done. The man hasn't even started his term. I'm not going ZOMG TRUMP IS THE SAVIOR.

    But his pledged policy proposals CHANGE EVERYTHING.

    Capital will begin immediately flowing back into America. Bit by bit. And steadily.

    America will go from the worst tax rate in the 1st world to the best.

    The economic implications of this are enormous.

    Do you understand just how much PRIVATE capital will be able to be deployed throughout America as the result of his economic plan?

    The answer is a lot.

    And the answer is a far greater number then 1 trillion my friend.

    "I’m the guy pushing a trillion-dollar infrastructure plan,” Mr. Bannon said. “With negative interest rates throughout the world, it’s the greatest opportunity to rebuild everything.”









    It's all about taking action and not being lazy. So you do the work, whether it's fitness or whatever. It's about getting up, motivating yourself and just doing it.

    Well, you kept acting like it's somehow not government or taxpayer money.

    Would you care to explain to us what makes this strategy better for the taxpayer than selling Treasury bonds instead?

    Tax payers pay the interest. As it always has been. Is that state of affairs vanishing anytime soon? I'd like it to be so but that process will take time. Probably a lot of time. It seems overall I'm the one being realistic and pragmatic and attempting to be EFFECTIVE.

    I also think that if Trump gets 8 years he will oversee a substantial amount of default issues in America, public and private. I think it's probable he will get a lot of that in a 4 year term. Lots of public debt in America is about to be defaulted and/or restructured in my view.

    The man has dealt with strategic default in his life and has shown to be very savvy in defaulting when it is the intelligent thing to do, saving key assets and getting back on your feet quickly and efficiently.

    Because it's gonna be GREAT! Let me tell you. MAGA! THE BEST!

    Do you not see or understand that his pledged tax reform and repealing of NAFTA and just about all the regulations enacted over the last few decades turns America into a desirable hub of economic activity?
    Have you learned nothing in the last 8 years about how prosperity comes from getting government out of the way, not spawning New Deal 3.0

    Seriously man. He has pledged a 15% flat income and corporate tax rate. From there he has pledged further tax reductions from an already drastically lowered rate if you invest into American infrastructure.
    And who is going to pay for these "drastically lowered rates?"

    The amount of money that has been chased away from America in the last 25 years has been decimating to America. The reality is most if not all of this money has been itching to get back into America should the tides of policy change.

    Trump has been on both sides of every issue. Therefore what you perceive in him is a function of what you want, or expect to hear.

    I'm not talking about pink unicorns. I'm talking about hundreds of billions of dollars worldwide that at the end of the day wants to be in America but has not been because FED.GOV has chased it away.
    You have, during the course of this post, consistently equivocated between regulation that has chases business away, and the creation of a new "Infrastructure Bank" ponzi scheme. You have done so in an attempt to curry favor with the viewpoint that hyper-regulation has chased business overseas (something every soul here knows innately) and then by waving some kind of magic wand you argue that this means the New Deal 3.0 isn't really so bad.

    This is an actual thing in logic. It is called "Magical Thinking."

    Most American business has been forced overseas because of too many regulations.

    I believe that Donald Trump will repeal regulations.

    Therefore the Pink Unicorn Infrastructure Bank isn't really so bad.

    FED.GOV has literally attacked capital and forced it out of America.

    Trump has PLEDGED.

    Ok man got it? PLEDGED. It still needs to get done. The man hasn't even started his term. I'm not going ZOMG TRUMP IS THE SAVIOR.

    But his pledged policy proposals CHANGE EVERYTHING.
    Cognitive Dissonance is a witch, man.

    Capital will begin immediately flowing back into America. Bit by bit. And steadily.

    America will go from the worst tax rate in the 1st world to the best.
    That is such an awesome thing when you crank up spending too.

    The economic implications of this are enormous.
    I know right?



    Do you understand just how much PRIVATE capital will be able to be deployed throughout America as the result of his economic plan?
    Because, fairy dust.

    The answer is a lot.

    And the answer is a far greater number then 1 trillion my friend.
    And Trumpsus, taking the five quarters and two dollars, looking up to the Federal Reserve he blessed them, and broke them, and gave to the Cabinet to set before the corporations. They all ate and were filled, and then the Cabinet went to pick up what was left, and it was a Trillion US Dollars.

    The point was he wants to turn the way things are run upside down and dramatically increase the QUALITY of the spending that is enacted.

    America's military and military capital are quite weak and need to be rebuilt. Much of the ridiculous POLICE THE WORLD spending has served to do nothing but turn America into a pariah that is making itself weaker and weaker with each passing year.

    If you knew that military spending would remain the same but that aggressive foreign policy would be reversed, most troops brought home and overseas spending replaced with spending at home, would you not view this as an enormous win for America (and the world)?

    That's the overall view of things I have right now. Will it play out like that? Maybe not. But for the first time in a LONG time there is legit HOPE for mass scale reversal of terrible policy.

    The Liberty movement (people around here for example) will play a key role in making sure a Trump presidency does more good then harm. I really think the man listens to those around him - including your elected representatives. I truly believe he wants to hear from YOU before he listens to a lobbyist.

    Take advantage. I think America's direction over the next few years can (and will) be redirected to something far, far superior to the status quo of the last 70? years.

    Time will tell. I'm hopeful (for the first time in my life).

    I'm hoping the Liberty movement does not waste this opportunity because who the hell knows when anything like it may come around again.
    You have run completely off the rails. Our military is weak? In relation to who? The cost of foreign military intervention will drop substantially? Maybe, that would be great.

    If you knew that military spending would remain the same but that aggressive foreign policy would be reversed, most troops brought home and overseas spending replaced with spending at home, would you not view this as an enormous win for America (and the world)?
    Do you really think he's going to bring most of the troops home? I don't.

    The Liberty movement (people around here for example) will play a key role in making sure a Trump presidency does more good then harm. I really think the man listens to those around him - including your elected representatives. I truly believe he wants to hear from YOU before he listens to a lobbyist.
    It's a nice thought, But I think the appointments made so far suggest our input means little or nothing, he sticks with the people who stuck with him. Some here did, most didn't.

    Take advantage. I think America's direction over the next few years can (and will) be redirected to something far, far superior to the status quo of the last 70? years.
    I would like to think you're right but I'm just not seeing it. May I be proven wrong and look like a fool. A result I will gladly accept.
