IF improved infrastructure is a boost to the market, and IF the money pays for said infrastructure (as it was not wholly done in previous administrations but divvied out for political purposes), THEN it might eventually pay for itself. Lots of IFS and MAYBES in politics.

It's going to be a great sidewalk, and they're going to get Massachusetts to pay for it

I think there are lots of common agreements behind closed doors but ion public it’s a different story as to not loose votes, campaign donations and so on to perpetuate the gridlock that helps only the few.

There’s no agreement until they can agree on a way to pay for it.
