"Infrastructure." Translation: Print another few trillion dollars and pass it to our union pals while we have the chance.

After all, the Party gets a nice cut of that, too.

Sell the suckers more of our phoney paper. Sounds ever so much better than encouraging a political environment where real wealth can be created again. Screw the private sector. Who needs revenues anyway when we've got this great credit card?

This is what California has been doing, you know. Endless bonds to buy goodies. Some bond issue shows up in every election. It's "free money" as far as the State government is concerned, and unfortunately, as far as many voters are concerned, too.

The Democrats have demonstrated that their entire economic plan is "tax and spend," and if they can't tax, they'll damn well spend anyway. Inflation? Deficits? Debt? Who cares, unless we can use those to attack Republicans?
