Obama: We just went through the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression. We need to help our kickstart our recovering economy by putting Americans to work with shovel-ready infrastructure projects. Let's do this!
Republicans: We need to reign in the national debt starting right this second. No new taxes! No!

Trump: Infrastructure, folks... we're like a third world country!
Republicans: Yes, it's about time! Reinvesting in America and American workers is exactly what we need now to save American jobs and recover.
