Spend money on infrastructure and give the middle class a tax break.

Seriously not trying to be a dick here, but you are encouraging production and reduced government allocation of resources- that is a right wing philosophy while using a government agency to manipulate the markets would be the left wing solution.

In other words, you picked Republican

Mind you, I agree with you on this point in no uncertain terms. One of the many reasons I *detest* the political parties in the US, both of them get so locked in to their litmus tests they can't just focus on making solid logical choices for the betterment of the people.

Every time I vote I try to choose the best option for my country.  Believe it or not, back in the day I  voted the Conservatives in here because I wanted to give them a chance to see what they could do.  Actually to begin with they did a pretty good job which is probably why they got re-elected.  The Liberals here ran an excellent campaign in the last election.  They came out of nowhere and won.  They stuck to a very positive message and they had a clear plan for how to fix our economy.  I really think we are going to see more of a focus on the middle class which is great.  The lower class already gets a lot of perks.  They don't pay much tax (if any) and they get a lot of services for free, at least here in Canada.  Our government created a new top tax bracket that affects people making over $200,000 per year.  So I would not say that this was a Republican policy.  I can only imagine what would happen if the Republicans taxed the wealthy in order to give the middle class a tax break.  If you look at Trump he wants to tax the "speculators", not the rich.
