    This would make sense if, for example, it were World War 2 and most production lines had to shift to support literally defeating the Nazis.

    That guy’s family might be in construction but it’s a good thing he went into politics or he’d have run that particular builder straight into the ground. “running a deficit” You absolute cementhead.
