2016 Postmortem

in infrastructure was something like 208 billion a year, Bernies was 250 billion.
Both proposals were too modest.

250 billion is 1.5% of GDP on top of existing spending of 1.2%, totals 2.7% when we should be spending 6% of GDP, about 850 billion additional dollars, this would create about 21 million jobs and add 89 billion a year in additional FICA revenue ensuring Social Security is good thru 2090.

The reason Bernie wanted to tax the wealthy to pay for infrastructure is that Obama has signed a "Pay as you GO" bill. In fact if you look at Both Hillary and Bernie websites, both candidates paid for everything in a responsible way.

None of Trumps tax breaks are funded so the Pay as you GO makes his tax breaks a no go, unless the GOP repeals "Pay as you Go".
