Podcasts about infrastructure spending

In this episode of The Tudor Dixon Podcast, Tudor sits down with Seamus Bruner, Director of Research at the Government Accountability Institute, to expose the shocking welfare fraud scandal in Minnesota, where more than $1 billion in taxpayer funds has allegedly gone missing—some of it potentially benefiting terrorist-linked organizations. Tudor and Seamus break down how massive failures in government oversight allowed this fraud to flourish, what it reveals about systemic corruption, and how taxpayer money is being mismanaged across infrastructure projects and green energy initiatives, including the electric vehicle agenda. The conversation also explores how protests are politically manipulated, how radical organizations are funded, and why transparency and accountability in government spending are more urgent than ever.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

GHOST CITIES AND THE STIMULUS TRAP Colleague Anne Stevenson-Yang, Wild Ride. China's growth model shifted toward massive infrastructure spending, resulting in "ghost cities" and replica Western towns built to inflate GDP rather than house people. This "Potemkin culture" peaked during the 2008 Olympics, where facades were painted to impress foreigners. To counter the global financial crisis, Beijing flooded the economy with loans, fueling a real estate bubble that consumed more cement in three years than the US did in a century, creating unsustainable debt.

President Donald Trump has proposed a nearly 90 percent cut to the two funds that are the primary source of federal support for drinking water and sewer systems. The state revolving funds, which loan money at below market or zero-interest rates, have traditionally attracted bipartisan support, and Congress has objected to previous administrations that suggested trimming the program. With Trump in the White House, how will the Republican-led Congress respond this time? To address that question, Circle of Blue's Brett Walton spoke with Mae Stevens, partner and water practice lead at Banner Public Affairs, a lobbying firm. A veteran of D.C. water policy, Stevens said that lawmakers could follow their accustomed path and buck the president's recommendation to gut the funds. Returning the funds to their current level of more than $2.7 billion would be the goal. But with such a large proposed cut the negotiations will not be easy. “If you're of the same party, you're looking at your president's budget saying ‘I don't want to stray too much from the leader of my party,'” she said. “But at the same time, we do need more water infrastructure funding.”

This episode examines the unprecedented global capital expenditure in Artificial Intelligence (AI) infrastructure. It quantifies this investment, currently estimated at approximately £410 billion annually, highlighting that this "Silicon Stimulus" is significantly propping up US GDP growth, masking underlying economic weaknesses.The report draws parallels with historical infrastructure booms like the 19th-century railroad expansion and the dot-com era's telecom buildout, noting that the AI boom's scale already surpasses the latter. A critical distinction is the short lifespan of AI hardware, particularly GPUs, which have an effective useful life of only one to three years, creating a "Capital Maintenance Trap" that necessitates continuous, massive investment.

Sandra Hurley, Political Reporter, discusses the latest on the National Development Plan as Coalition leaders signed off on revised details.

The Government will prioritise “cost and efficiency over design standards and aesthetics” when it comes to future infrastructure spending.

The Government has been handed a grim Treasury warning as it calculates how it will cover billions of dollars worth of plans to fix roads, hospitals and water projects. Infrastructure Minister Chris Bishop spoke to Corin Dann.

Malicious NPM packages are sneaking into codebases while FFmpeg devs prove old-school assembly skills can still smoke the competition. Plus, a rare bee species takes on Zuck's AI dreams.

Business NZ is welcoming a rise in spending on infrastructure, saying it has the potential to improve economic growth. Business NZ chief executive Kirk Hope spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

The Government's promised newer roads, fewer potholes and more maintenance in their new transport spending roadmap. Transport Minister Simeon Brown has released details on the investment, which includes 15 new 'roads of national significance' and a pothole prevention fund. ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper says the increased motor vehicle licensing fees will be the beginning of several hikes to pay for this scheme.

There's a desperate need in the US to improve our infrastructure, much of which was built when the population was half the size it is today. After decades of neglect, President Biden's infrastructure plan is poised to pump a trillion dollars into the economy to not just modernize bridges and roads, but also boost manufacturing, R&D, clean energy, climate resilience and more. What could this investment mean for the economy, politics, and your bottom line as an investor? The latest episode of Living Beyond Borders, a special podcast series from GZERO brought to you by Citi Private Bank, explores those themes in detail with some top experts in finance and geopolitics. Moderated by Caitin Dean, Head of the Geostrategy Practice at Eurasia Group, this episode features Jon Lieber, Managing Director at Eurasia Group; David Bailin, Global Head of Investments and Chief Investment Officer at Citi Global Wealth; and Adam Minehardt, Director of Federal Government Affairs in the Washington, D.C.

Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives have a thin majority, which means they need to keep their party together to pass legislation. Kurt Schrader (D-OR) is a moderate Democrat. Schrader, along with a handful of other moderates in his party, successfully lobbied House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to decouple the bipartisan infrastructure bill and Biden's $3.5 trillion spending bill. Moderates also got a commitment from Pelosi to hold a vote on the infrastructure bill by September 27. Kurt Schrader joins us to talk more about what's in these bills and the behind-the-scenes jockeying going on to move legislation forward.
