Infrastructure

Very good quote from: http://www.kipesquire.net/


It is true, for example, that “tax cuts won’t build schools.”
It is therefore also true that tax cuts won’t build schools that are too big, or too close to an already existing school, or have an Olympic-sized pool “because it would be nice,” or a top-of-the-line football field “because the other school has one,” or…
And a second Hoover Dam right in front of the first one is hardly a worthwhile infrastructure project.
Simply chanting “Infrastructure!” as if it were a get-out-of-debate-free card is hardly Nobel or Ivy League thinking.
