>Logically there is no real connection there. The building and maintaining of infrastructure should be independent of the economic cycle. Should we wait for a downturn in the economy before fixing a bridge, for instance?

Of course not. But for reasons that are beyond my control, we don't spend enough on infrastructure in this country. So if we can create infrastructure related jobs or health care related jobs or any jobs or any other ones that make our country a better place while increasing employment, we should do that. That's an investment.

>Let's not forget about all of the unintended consequences involved in short-circuiting the normal economic cycle. If you don't understand that, maybe you're the one who has no sense of basic economics.

We've exceeded anything resembling a normal economic cycle at this point and are headed towards a Depression (we may be there already).
