I suggest you look up what Curtis Lemay had planned for Japan so far as strategic bombing of Japan is concerned and you might change your mind. And the killing of several hundred thousand Japanese in Hiroshima and Nagasaki pales into insignificance compared to what the Japanese did in China and pretty much everywhere else they invaded. Read a few World War II histories - I have.
Cracks start to emerge in Trump infrastructure pledge
It’s not at all clear that President-elect Donald Trump’s plans to spend massively on infrastructure are going to unfold as he promised.
Trump made rebuilding the nation’s aging roads, bridges and airports very much part of his job-creation strategy in the presidential race.
But lately lobbyists have begun to fear that there won’t be an infrastructure proposal at all, or at least not the grand plan they’d been led to expect.
From the day he entered the presidential race to the moment he declared victory, Trump pledged an infrastructure renewal. He cited decaying bridges, potholed roads and airports like New York’s LaGuardia that he said reminded him of the “third world.”
Trump or his campaign also mentioned schools, hospitals, pipelines, water treatment plants and the electrical grid as part of a job-creation strategy that would make the U.S. “second to none.” It was a rare area in which House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and other Democrats hoped for common ground with the president-elect. The possibility of a major infrastructure spending plan is one of several factors that have fueled the recent run-up in stock prices. But did he mean it?
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell tried to tamp down expectations last week, telling reporters he wants to avoid “a $1 trillion stimulus.” And Reince Priebus, who will be Trump’s chief of staff, said in a radio interview that the new administration will focus in its first nine months with other issues like health care and rewriting tax laws. He sidestepped questions about the infrastructure plan.
In a post-election interview with The New York Times, Trump himself seemed to back away, saying infrastructure won’t be a “core” part of the first few years of his administration. But he said there will still be “a very large-scale infrastructure bill.”
He acknowledged that he didn’t realize during the campaign that New Deal-style proposals to put people to work building infrastructure might conflict with his party’s small-government philosophy.
“That’s not a very Republican thing — I didn’t even know that, frankly,” he said.
Trump transition officials didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
The mixed signals on infrastructure have lobbyists and lawmakers puzzled.
“We’re worried,” said Brian Turmail, a spokesman for the Associated General Contractors of America, which represents more than 26,000 construction companies and 10,500 service providers and suppliers.
“Are we hearing signs that people just don’t know what the plan is?” he asked. “Or signs that people don’t want any kind of plan? We don’t know the answer.”

Let's hope putting the people back to work doesn't mean parking the machines. If a lot of the manufacturing and such is to be used by people when they are not working then the math is not hard to do. I can see spots like this where there are 10,000 'servants' for 1,000 'rich guests' and those 10,000 servants are tourists from the 'economy class. but they get to use the same slopes as the rich and famous.

The sad fact is Hitler went round saying I will make Germany Great Again
Hitler had the drain the swamp mentality he was a sociopath and a narcissist
I am not saying Trump is the third Anti Christ but he fits a pattern of oddball
leaders He is not interest in any rules of society except his own. America will
start well after which Americans we see that what they elected their fathers and
grandfathers went to fight against.
We are living in a different world than the mid twentieth century but we are going
to be subjected to four years of a self centered spoiled brat.
He is not a conservative or a liberal he has no code to live by except his own penchant
for greed and self interest. what saddens me is many Republicans who showed they
were descent people, in the first frame of the emerging picture, became politically drunk
by the time the second picture was taken. There are a few who still command respect.
to some degree with are about to relive a period of troubled history.and yes the world is
going to be less safe, with a leader fueled by ego instead of reason
