At last someone who speaks for the common people.

I think it has more to do with virtue signalling than actually helping "the common man" Corporation tax is a bad tax– but let’s make sure we replace it with something better | City A.M.

You really should stop using the words "virtue signalling" to virtue signal to your fellow cretins, you tedious, tedious twunt.

I love the phrase virtue signalling. It says in two words what would otherwise require several paragraphs of reason/evidenced based argument to make

I love the phrase virtue signalling. Parotting meaningless cliches substitutes for any reasoned argument on my part. Because I'm thick as mince.

FTFY.

Throwing money at the problem was always the way to fix recessions in the past. $1trillion isn't actually going to go that far if it's being spent fixing the US's infrastructure.

It will also create inflation which should add to the entertainment....

The US isn't in recession anymore. Growth is strong. Problem is it's not reaching the hinterland, much like the UK.
But rather than redistributing wealth, Trump will have his cake and eat it. Tax cuts for the rich to make them better off and borowing on the never-never to make the proles better off. Everyone's a winner, except future generations.
And yes, inflation is a given.

Yup let rip with spending, inflation, fed raises interest rates, horrible recession "not my fault...bye".

Inflation, or more likely hyper-inflation, sooner or later is a foregone conclusion as sure as night follows day.

Depends what you are looking at. Outside of the growth areas (the coasts, part of the south) the us is in a recession (in the same way the U.K. is if you look at GDP per capita rather than overall).

And the advantage of infrastructure spending is that it's localized and will help local employment
