1. It's called kickbacks.

[unblock]

2. look at the growth of the deficit under reagan and shrub.

call it moral relativism, but they only believe in "fiscal responsibility" when democrats are in charge.

3. They are anti-humanity.

I hope people wake up and realize this.

4. infrastructure spending will fuel the economy for a while

the influx of cash to make huge useless border walls and bridges to nowhere will be used to stimulate local economies and shore up electoral support for Republicans in 2018. after 2018 they won't even need electoral support, by then any election results will be exactly what the Republicans declare them to be anyway.
