On Mr. Trump's $1,000,000,000,000 Infrastructure Proposal

I am always very wary of plans that are defined by their price-tag rather than by what they specifically plan to do (upgrading the electrical grid is probably a worthwhile project, for example) and, yeah, a TRILLION dollars does seem a little bit steep especially when you consider that a) the issue itself has been way overblown (http://paranoiacstoogetalk.blogspot.com/2015/07/on-americas-bridges-are-crumbling.html) and b) the possibilities for cronyism are massive. Hopefully some saner heads will prevail on this issue.
