    Tony, in 2014 Buffet holdings were up for over 1 billion in subsidies, fact not fiction. Corporations are the government in the US today. Little do people realize that your one world government is happening right under your nose in the open. It is in the form of corporate governance. Wait till they start handing infrastructure rebuilding over to private equity (financial corps) this will be another transfer of wealth to rival the great recession.

    I can agree with most of that, Buffet though....has owed around a billion in taxes for like 8 years now but keeps fighting it in courts. Mister go ahead and raise my taxes, right ?

    Anyway, funding infrastructure with private money is actually a good thing. Free's up coin to be used elsewhere and normally private companies can do the job quicker and more efficiently than government can. It's not a transfer of wealth if your not taking it from Peter to pay Paul. Plus with private money, you can bet accountability to where and what it's being spent on would happen, unlike government.

    Private funding has been happening for decades on some level. Ever go to a Hospital and you have XYZ wing named after the donor ? That donor got nothing back except recognition, his name on the wing. No transfer of wealth happened there. How many roads do we have named after someone ? They didn't build it, contribute funds. I have no problem if Bill Gates wants to pay for a bridge somewhere and we have to name it after him. So what....

    Tony really? XYZ wing @ a hospital is a donation. Private investment in infrastructure is not a donation it is an investment....lol. Look up the definition of the word investment. These people will expect a return on investment. Think of tolls ect.
    Infrastructure to be funded by PRIVATE INVESTMENT, not DONATIONS!

    I think your reading too far into the terminology. Nobody is going to build a school and expect a return on investment. What they may expect, is favors from government in other areas that benefit them.

    Having someone build a public road, toll road, and expect to collect that toll money indefinitely.....what pray tell politician would agree to that knowing how broke most states are ? What company would make that investment, claim ownership of it, and be liable for upkeep and lawsuits over every accident that happened on their road ? Doesn't make sense....at all.

    Besides subsidies, let's not forget our government's wonderful investment arm, In-Q-Tel.
    Nothing could go wrong there.
