I'd rather they spent on infrastructure than other junk

They need to figure out how much total money they want to spend across all the programs, then figure out the best way to spend it. This +++trillion for each cause of the week adds up quick.

It'll be suspension bridges in South Dakota and high speed rail in Ames Iowa.

A reasonable approach - let's watch what happens. I think there will be some pork, especially if earmarks return. I think the more proper thing to hope for is that it does get spent mostly on infrastructure - and that it does create jobs. Even some pork could still meet those standards.

All the lie-cheat-and-steal democrats will suddenly become minority owners in construction firms around the country.
Like Cuomo, first roads paved will be in their neighborhood and their relatives neighborhoods. First bridges fixed, in their district...

I don't think you can make the claim that only Dems do that kind of stuff.
I will remind you of Loeffler and Purdue's stock sales.

Currency crises typically happen quickly and with few warnings right before they happen. Certainly not my hope, but my fear. At least infrastructure spending typically has identifiable results of the multiplier effect from government spending...IF a bill actually directs funds to infrastructure. Remember "roads and bridges" and "shovel ready jobs"

I remember the FAST Act having a great impact on infrastructure.

That was back in 2015 under Obama. I remember our last president was too incompetent to get a bill passed even though it was an easy sell and has bi-partisan support. Nancy and Chuck tried to have a meeting with him about it and he walked out, because he was a child.

They can get anything they want (in that area) via budget

reconciliation. It can only be done once per year and they already used it for the "COVID" package.

Reconciliation is limited, but I don't think it is only once per year. I might be wrong.

to figure out exactly was budget reconciliation was. 
Reconciliation is limited, but I think most kinds of spending fall in the reconciliation category (but I'm not sure).
