I think it's the federal government attempting to gain more power to control the economy and remove power from the private sector. They want to create and manage all of these new "high paying jobs", which they can pay people whatever they want because they will just print more money or create more debt to pay those wages. Government projects are almost never, ever efficiently run, so giving the government more "money" and power over the economy from the private sector will create a lot more stress on the private sector. They won't be able to complete with the inflated printed money the government is handing out to their new jobs, so on top of the corporate tax increase in the infrastructure and whatever tax increases in this new plan, it will end up hurting a lot of business owners and workers.

Allocating funds to hire private sector for a lot of these jobs would be better, but they keep saying "create high paying jobs" which seems to mean they are just trying to make a large power grab.
