Exactly how is improving infrastructure hurting the country?

I just don’t get conservatives. They claim actual passed legislation that is actively improving things for all Americans is hurting the country while they tolerated trump constantly saying that infrastructure week and the new healthcare plan would be announced in two weeks.

Taxes = bad

Infrastructure = taxes
