geekIT: And Trump wants to buy Greenland. With what? The infrastructure fund? If there is such a thing.

The reason why a lot of US infrastructure is so run down is because maintenance is the first thing you cut when times are tough.  The US has been doing this for the last 15-20 years to hide the state of their financials.  Another example is food in restaurants where you don't raise prices but drop the quality and/or quantity, there's a web site somewhere that shows true inflation figures based on grocery prices vs. doctored government ones based on items cherry-picked to look less bad than they are (both sides have been doing this, it's not party-specific).

The last time I saw an estimated figure published for the accumulated backlog of deferred infrastructure maintenance work it was 1.2 trillion dollars.  That's trillion with a 't', not billion.  So a nominal US infrastructure fund would have a balance of $-1,200,000,000,000.
