There's always so much new info every day about all sorts of stuff - and half the time it can sound the same as other stuff ... have been trying to find some sort of system for trying to keep track of all the big ticket info, but it's still sort of a work in progress
Guess this thread is helping
Just did a little search, and this article kind of makes it seem like it must have been new? It was saying that all the members of Congress' jaws dropped when Trump named a price for the new bill, because it was much larger than they were expecting, or something?

A big gov't infrastructure spend would be excellent (for both stocks and our country), but that has been on the table since the late 1960s and it never seems to happen. Maybe this time will be different.
Something like that must have happened, because the gains today were rather underwhelming!
Will have to try and remember to keep an eye out for updates on any progress on any possible infrastructure bill, although it sounds like chances of anything passing aren't so great. Those are great ideas for what to pick up if something does wind up happening Jupiter - CAT seems to be doing quite well lately
