I'm so exciting! This is one of the very few major party candidates I would consider voting for. Hopefully there is enough thirst for open and free non partisan thought out there to give her a chance, but I fear her problem will be more on the left than the middle and right.
It is January 2019. This signals the start of the 2020 election circus. Sen. Elizabeth Warren is the first big-name Democrat on stage. But we will soon be deluged with candidates, bizarre antics and endless commentary by fatuous TV and radio pundits. The hyperventilating, the constant polling, the updates on who has the largest campaign war chest, the hypothetical matches between this hopeful and that hopeful, the mocking tweets by Donald Trump, will, as we saw in the 2016 election campaign, have as much relevance to our lives and political future as the speculation on cable sports channels about next yearâs football season. This farce takes the place of genuine political life. (...)
One of the interesting things to me is that infrastructure spending is mentioned as a politically palatable option that could potentially nip a recession in the bud if applied judiciously. If Trump were smart politically he'd be looking to lay the groundwork for such a bill with Dems. Since he isn't, well . . . I guess Trumpsters are going to have to hope that GOP leadership does it for him, like everything else.
i think trump wants to spend a ton of money on infrastructure
i know there was interest and i think he floated something out there
but not sure what happened
i wouldn't doubt his willingness to spend a few trillion dollars

It'll never happen because when Obama threw a bunch of money at "shovel-ready" projects to help arrest a free-fall, the GOP just howled. The only way the GOP could get behind a big infrastructure spending action would be for them to all suddenly turn hypocritical and support something they recently fought against and that's sure not likely.
No rebuilding of infrastructure. No addressing climate change.

They did exactly that with pre-existing conditions.... I still maintain that's not a goddam word.

Paywalls are slowly becoming the norm. I think Amazon Prime members can get a very good deal on WashPo digital access, though. There's also the trick of flushing your browser's cache from time to time and/or trying to access the article by googling the title of the article and clicking on the provided link. I have a subscription to WashPo, however, so I'll just try to provide the meaty bits: Trump’s big 2020 problem: The economy could be in recession ...
