Or defend yourself, educate your child as you see fit, keep money you earn, want to start a business, want bathroom fixtures that work, choose your own healthcare, buy the car you want, want inexpensive food, want to exercise free political speech, and many other things that "liberals" oppose.
Actually Democrats wanted almost no infrastructure spending as part of the stimulus bill. Large increases in infrastructure spending were pushed for by Republicans. Democrats refused, so it didn't get any Republican votes. Democrats just wanted a slush fund to pay off special interests. You can't revise history to fit your world view. Conservatives like infrastructure spending if it actually fulfills a need (see Hoover Dam, and Interstate Highway system). If it's just make work projects, and tax money for unions they generally refuse.
The Golden Gate Bridge was built without federal funding, you ignoramus. It was a project created and funded by Republicans. FDR had nothing to do with it.
No, it's my assertion that they were the conservatives of the early 20th century. I could say the same about progressives of the same era; they would be unrecognizable today. When the facts aren't convenient, attack.
What the heck are you talking about? That all great, but it does not change the fact that the project was conceived, funded, and signed into law by Republicans.
In fact all the "Great" infrastructure projects of the 20th century, were conceived of and funded by Republicans. So shut your arrogant, ignorant mouth.
Maybe it met the current and latest budget estimate. But it certainly didn't meet the original cost estimate. 8 billion francs versus 12 billion francs.
How about the interstate highway system? Arguably the most valuable infrastructure project in US History. It actually served a puropose that benefited all. And only cost about 450 billion in today's dollars. Far less than we spend on one year of Social Security and Medicare.
They don't gouge the sick. No sick person can pay those costs. They gouge the insurance companies, who now get your money at gunpoint. Anyone who expects prices and costs to go down under those circumstances is nuts.

Calvin Coolidge is a conservative hero, you dolt.

Clearly you don't know, because my previous statement quoted by you does nothing to reinforce your argument.
Republicans have always been the more liberal of the two parties. In other words, the least authoritarian.
Lol. I thought this whole conversation is about stimulating the economy with public infrastructure project. Are they a good thing or not?
When did I claim that?

We could have built a hundred Hoover Dams or two hundred Golden Gate Bridges with the money that was spent on "stimulus' in 2008. Where did it go?

The Hoover Dam was a conservative infrastructure project.

And a Republican Congress and Senate.
The Golden Gate Bridge? It seems you didn't bother to research any history.
The Hoover Dam was funded by the Boulder Canyon Act of 1928, which was passed under Calvin Coolidge, a conservative favorite.
The Hoover Dam?
Maybe it met the current and latest budget estimate. But it certainly didn't meet the original cost estimate. 8 billion francs versus 12 billion francs.
Prepping for the test is called learning.
Of course they do. They also have lower patient satisfaction and quality of care.
Somehow I knew that response was coming. Not really.

At least you could move out of a shithole like Massachusetts. Now you don't have that option.
The Federal Government is a middleman, as there is only one. Federal employees are middlemen. You're still an idiot.
