Ok, now you have to 'splan to us how is that related to the topic.
But if you want to open up another thread, mods permitting, I will explain to you Keyneesian economics and how the country had a booming economy after Hoover's Great Depression.
Or, why thee country became the strongest economy in the world when Ford and other industrialist realized his own ordinary worker needs to be able to afford the cars he is making..

Due to the virus there is a shortage of computer chips. The auto industry runs on the "just in time" delivery concept for parts so have no stock on hand to absorb shortages. I placed a Tacoma on order January 4 and still have no build date.

Under the administration’s infrastructure plan, this industry will get government support to do it here in the US.
ROFLMAO........................Infrastructure Plan?
"Out of the $2 trillion, the plan only spends about $115 billion to modernize bridges, highways, roads, and main streets that are in “most critical need of repair.”
"The plan also includes $213 billion for home sustainability and public housing, $50 billion for National Science Foundation infrastructure “research,” $35 billion for climate change-related R&D, and $50 billion for a new “Commerce Department Office.”
"tax hikes, partisan add-ons, and having less than 6% of the proposal actually going to roads and cities."
"the proposal sets aside $20 billion for projects that “advance racial equity and environmental justice.”
“There is no reason for an infrastructure plan to include tens of billions of dollars, or hundreds of billions of dollars, in gifts to the already heavily subsidized renewable energy industry.”
Could be worse.

There goes again the political hacks inserting their irrelevant partisan views on topics on posts that are supposedly informational.
Put it out there on the political thread will yah! (ok, there's none -- so off to Twitter or FB for you)...:D
LOL, so it's okay for one poster to post a political comment but it's not okay for another poster to disagree?
Geez sounds like our last admin we had in the WH.
