An Infrastructure Bank Is Robbery

I stopped by our bank Friday to get something notorized, and, damn, they were all out of free Jolly Ranchers.

For a moment, I’d forgotten just what a bank is and is not. Seems I’m not alone, with an American  president expected by some to propose a national “infrastructure bank” at his Thursday address to Congress on jobs.

“We’ve got the potential to create an infrastructure bank that could put construction workers to work right now, rebuilding our roads and our bridges and our vital infrastructure all across the country,” President Obama recently said.

Expensive union labor to be required, no doubt.
