“President Donald Trump this morning reiterated his concern about getting a U.S. infrastructure plan. He posted on Twitter, ‘There is nothing easy about a USA Infrastructure Plan, especially when our great Country has spent an astounding 7 trillion dollars in the Middle East over the last 19 years, but I am looking hard at a bipartisan plan of 1 to 2 trillion dollars. Badly needed!'”
May 4 (EIRNS)– Trump Pledges Help to Governors in Midwest Flooding; Says, ‘Nothing Easy’ About a U.S. Infrastructure Plan
Well, infrastructure is once again in the headlines and still there is no idea from the political leaders, including the President (as he admits) on how to fund even the $2 trillion plan over ten years that he discussed with the Democrats a week ago.
So, after some interesting climate, weather, water items, and wildfire warnings, the bulk of this week’s report will provide the readers with an array of material that points toward, not only how to fund– not just $2 trillion over ten years, but $2 trillion per year for ten years– infrastructure, and more. For it is only on that scale of funding that the immediate infrastructure deficit of $4.5 trillion, as reported by the American Society of Civil Engineers, can be met, but the additional trillions required to not merely repair and build infrastructure, but to raise the product power of the economy and the labor force to a new platform; one that is at the level required by the 21st Century.
The final item this week is nuclear power, and has two articles: “Germany’s Nuclear Exit Was a Mistake,” and “The Reason Renewables Can’t Power Modern Civilization Is Because They Were Never Meant To.”
So, here we go.
