    Think just maybe why infrastructure was an easy target?

    Oh stop Marty. You mean like the details we had when we passed the Affordable Care Act which not a single US Senator or Congressman read? Marty, there are no details. Obama never had a plan. Bush never had a plan. The ones with plans are dictators. They seem to know exactly what they want, power. Politicians are full of jingles, rhetoric, empty promises, etc. Yeah Huckleberry, you keep waiting on the infrastructure details but your coffee will get cold while your waiting.

  5. Mav, why iz you hasslin' me, bruv? I ain't waiting for no goddamn details...

    In seriousness, my point is precisely that. I don't really get why peeps are so much more optimistic and excited about Daddy. As far as I can tell, it's more of the same, at best.

    Has nothing to do with details, everything to do with attitude. We're tired of being scolded because we don't understand what it is like to be poor, black and whatever else they can come up with. Everything Trump says has been said in every workingmans bar for 8 years with the same attention to detail. He's just the first one who had the courage to say it publicly.

    I said if you are looking for details and facts there are none to be found. We are use to it, we've been hearing speeches for 8 years which start almost every other sentence with "We need to" with no details about how, but everybody knows it involves taxing and spending. Finally somebody is saying "We are going to." See the difference?

  9. No, sorry... What exactly is the significance you perceive in the use of "going to" instead of "need to"?

    Psychologically, one seems more confident. Words are just words, but as we all know, they do move people.
