Literally building factories and roads. That’s about as populist as you can get. And you can complain all you want about the withdrawal, but it went about as well as it possibly could have. It’s amazing that for a country hellbent on defending capitalism, there is so much appetite for a government directed economy.

Not when the people are all shouting about inflation, the cost of living, housing, and immigration and then the admin turns around and spends hundreds of billions building roads and factories. In that case, measures that addressed inflation, housing, and immigration are popular and building factories and roads are an issue in policy priorities.

Again, love to be about capitalism while secretly wanting a government directed economy.
