First, Baird's take, issued after he sat in on a meeting with Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke:
I asked Delavar about this yesterday in writing a profile of the larger Baird v. Delavar race.
"I think it's misguided. Part of the equation I agree with him on, I agree that these projects re ready to go and we should get them funded," Delavar said. "What we dont agree on is whether that is going to be the solution on the economy, and I strongly disagree, no it isn't."
More spending without higher taxes should come with cuts in spending, he added, saying "the best place to cut that spending in our military involvement oversees."
Then there was a loud rumbling noise.
"Harleys, you got to love 'em," Delavar said, before explaining that he doesnt think the massive construction projects of the 1930s ended the Great Depression.
"We already have enough government jobs," he said. "The solution is undoing the decades of damage to the dollar. Were on the edge of it being denied as the world's reserve currency. A new bridge isnt going to fix that."
