Trump's Infrastructure Promises vs. The Reality | Dean Baker Analysis | Graham Elwood

In this video, Graham Elwood examines Donald Trump's proposed infrastructure plan based on an interview with Dean Baker, co-director of the Center for Economic and Policy Research, featured on The Real News Network. Prompted by a question from Patreon supporter Alex Talk, Graham discusses why Trump's push for privatisation in infrastructure projects (such as toll roads, public transit, and utilities) benefits private corporations and Wall Street at the expense of working people, and why robust public investment and progressive policies are vital for society.
