One dollar invested in infrastructure has a return of $1.59 in GDP growth, while most tax cuts don't even return 50 cents. Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman explained, "The one thing we know is that the good thing about federal spending is it's actually spent, that it actually does boost the economy. And if it's infrastructure, it also leaves you with something of value afterwards. Whereas if you do it the way the Republicans want to do it, which is always tax breaks, first of all, it might not be not be spent or it might not help the economy at all. And then, you've got nothing to show for when the thing is over."
