So is any politician asking for a ROI on the billions spent of taxpayers money ....or were the jobs the payback....

If that's the case then sending billions to farmers in western Canada could have the same economic return ...probably more....

Is giving an irrigation district 75 million in assets for a buck and still funding them 40 bucks an acre for 5 years a good investment. ..and still have the government replacing pipe because of poor engineering....
