A real neocon economist thinks that the infrastructure bank is the dumbest, most unnecessary, conflict ridden idea ever.  Why do you have to add in public money if the toll road, bridge or railroad is a money-making investment, given the unmet demand it will service??  And all will be made even more dicey when the cabinet gets to lean on the "bank" in selecting projects.  This will be a classic case of Liberals borrowing and spending to cook up a "boom" going into an election - leaving the fiscal hole to the young.   They (honest right-wingers) also note that publicly backed mortgage insurance creates a massive tendency to dumb loans, since banks have their butts covered no matter how questionable their lending.  So, please don't blame neocons/economists/sensible conservatives for some of these disasters (i.e. US housing crash/recession) when you ignored their advice in the first place!!
