That's an incorrect statement on several levels. The concerns about deficit spending is not associated solely with either party- it's more of a bipartisan feature of a group of the Republican Freedom Congress and conservative Democrats.
There was a major pushback against Obama because of his "deficit spending" and there were accusations that Democrats favoring increasing the debt to pay for a stimulus package. This is another case of a post that has little basis in fact.
The concern about having a foreign investor owning public roads in the US should be universal. The concern about having a for-profit company owning public toll roads should be universal because there is a
clear history of increasing tolls on roads owned by Cintra and other foreign for-profit companies. Increased transportation costs are passed on to consumer as inflated prices for the goods that we buy.
That's the scenario playing out in the US, too. Thirty to fifty year leases between states and private companies, lack of profitability on the roads because of low usage of the toll road, financial insolvency of the private company, increases in toll charges which leads to the failure of the private-public partnership or a taxpayer-funded bailout of the deal.
These deals make sense for things like hotels in airports- a hotel company is much better at operating a hotel than government. It doesn't make sense for public works which are paid for by taxpayers- when they are built, when they are used and when they fail.
Even sources that favor these types of partnerships have
acknowledged that they haven't gone well in America historically.
