You know what would also be symbolic? A solid gold trash can, burning money 24/7.

Yes, sort of like the belligerent democratic policies of the past 8 years that have us 20T in debt and counting...
The thinking here being that the best response to a spiraling national debt is to spend tens of billions of dollars on worthless public works projects?
Uh, did you support Obama and 800B he spent on infrastructure? Were you gonna support Clinton and her proposed $300B borrowed from the public for infrastructure (copying Obama's failed move)? If you could relax off the vitriol you might find that Trump's ideas could lead to an uptick in our economy. You might even give him a chance. Afterall, every newspaper and "economist" in the world predicted the market would plummet if he were elected and instead it rose to it's highest levels.
