Or maybe just 1/1000th of a yearly US military budget line item? US infrastructure needs a significant revamp.

The US military budget is about $800bn, and I’m pretty sure that you don’t really believe that much can be done in terms of infrastructure for 1/1000th of that, never mind a single line item.

Correct I was being facetious. It would require more money than the specific example I gave.

You’re absolutely right, I avoided the topic because federal budgets never please everyone but you nailed how easy it could be.
