I didn't say Trump didn't have to deal with automation, but leaving it out of discussion about Obama is dishonest

You really want to compare infrastructure spending, Obama V Trump?

Do you remember the Trump Rebuild America Infrastructure Bill, passed by a GOP Senate and signed by Trump?

Me neither.

•Infrastructure ?Senate – $46 billion for transportation projects, including $27 billion for highway and bridge construction and repair and $11.5 billion for mass transit and rail projects; $4.6 billion for the Army Corps of Engineers; $5 billion for public housing improvements; $6.4 billion for clean and drinking water projects.

?House – $47 billion for transportation projects, including $27 billion for highway and bridge construction and repair and $12 billion for mass transit, including $7.5 billion to buy transit equipment such as buses; and $31 billion to build and repair federal buildings and other public infrastructures.

Solyndra received a $535 million U.S. Department of Energy loan guarantee, the first recipient of a loan guarantee under President Barack Obama's economic stimulus program, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. However, Solyndra officials used inaccurate information to mislead the Department of Energy in its application.[16] While the overall loan program was in the black in 2014, it took a $528 million loss from Solyndra.[17][18] Additionally, Solyndra received a $25.1 million tax break from California's Alternative Energy and Advanced Transportation Financing Authority.[19] Solyndra was not a unique case for the U.S. Department of Energy.[20]
