What Trump promised in his speech last night is likely financially impossible!

Let's start with Infrastructure. Saying it has to be American steel for bridges and pipelines to begin with. This likely alone will make the job cost at least 25% to 30% more because of American Labor costs. Then he says it has to be all American Workers: Same thing 25% to 30% more than hiring foreignors. Then who is going to pay for all this and how are you going to get Republicans to pay for it? You might get most Democrats to sign up to pay for this (or not) but how do you get Republicans to pay for Infrastructure when they never wanted to pay for it before?

Then you go to Nuclear weapons and Military spending. Even Republicans balk at trying to take this money away from the Department of State because the Department of State is mostly how we talk to people about not killing them instead of killing them. So, when you take the department of state funding away you are pretty assured of a war or nuclear war.

The list goes on and on. So, in effect Trump just screwed the Republican Congress already without even talking about Obamacare which is another screw up that hasn't been worked out yet.

As people say, "The Devil is in the details" whether you are buying a house or financing Obamacre or Trumpcare as it will be called now whether he succeeds or not and  "Trump Infrastructure" whether it works or is just another boondoggle or broken promise to the American people. We don't have the money now because there are no longer the  60,000 factories in the U.S. that ALREADY moved to China and other countries since 2001.

So, Mr. Trump, How are you going to finance all this without further bankrupting America?
