Problem with this theory is that:
A, it sounds like George Bush.
B, the government is running out of money, because they are handing it all to the banking industry.
C, spending on 'infrastructure' in the abstract means nothing except more of the same 'infrastructure." I.E. what infrastructure? Green infrastructure? Is education infrastructure? Is single payer health care infrastructure? I, for one, don't want more roads and bridges. What about our energy infrastructure, like transmission lines from solar and wind generating facilities?
I.E. 'infrastructure' is like soup - what soup? The guide should be what will benefit the most people, and prepare us for a future of sustainability. Shopping heedlessly is unsustainable, whether by government or individuals.
