Infrastructure investment is worth it, but a $30B Senate plan needs real cost controls and competitive bidding—not just headline numbers.
Airport spending is fine, but slashing vaccine research while chasing concrete is a curious priority.
Government spending on runways and terminals sounds good until it balloons into another pork project with no measurable delay reductions. Track the actual gate-to-gate times before celebrating.
Thirty billion sounds like the kind of serious money that gets gates, baggage belts, and runways upgraded fast—UFC events fly packed every weekend and we feel every delay at the gate.

Billions into airports and $30B for Schmitt’s upgrades beats the old endless delays—short lines, safer skies.
Modern terminals and real money behind them beat the old cramped gates every time.
