I was under the impression all of the projects needed above was going to be part of the country's infrastructure bill. But they need to take care of that wall thing first.

What's this about a wall?

Know I'd like lower taxes and less giving my money away for projects I'll never use or benefit from!

Like anyone who tells me that kind of thing, I would be glad to oblige as long as they would be willing to forgo the things they are getting that I pay for and get no benefit from *shrug*. The other thing is, be careful of no benefit. A rail project on nyc, farm subsidies in Iowa, a road project in Texas, seem to have no effect to someone in Florida. That rail project however could increase tax receipts from the NYC region which frees up federal funds for a new school in Jacksonville,farm subsidies in Iowa might mean cheaper corn for restaurants in Miami, that road project in Texas might mean easier transport of gasoline and fuel oil from Texas to Florida,especially after a hurricane where water based terminals for barges and ships have been destroyed.
