Democratic congressional leaders said they held a constructive meeting with President Trump on Monday at which they agreed to seek a deal on a $2 trillion infrastructure bill.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Senate Democratic Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) left the meeting at noon sounding a decidedly positive note, calling the meeting with Trump at the White House constructive and good.
They said they had not agreed on how to pay for a $2 trillion bill to improve the nation's roads, bridges, waterways and broadband, but that they had agreed to meet in another three weeks.
And they said the battles between the White House and Democrats over special counsel Robert Mueller's report had not prevented the progress.

Wasn’t this supposed to be done when Ovomit was pREsident?
All those shovel ready jobs and all?
Again, we are being fleeced and taken as fools.
I don't remember but I could make something up. {:-)
“Do you really get the sense that President Trump has closely scrutinized a single spending bill hes signed since he was inaugurated?”
No. But I do get the sense that on a major construction bill, Trump will scrutinize it. That’s his domain.
Of the $2T, how much of it will end up in the pockets of the unions, then funneled back to DEM politicians?
“does it really matter what we do to the roads and bridges?”
Jimmy Hoffa the commies in them.
Whatever numbers you make up, I am sure they’d be be too low...
Two trillion is an awful lot of pork. Its staggering.
“They said they had not agreed on how to pay for a $2 trillion bill”
Trump did NOT agree to the deal. c BS making fake news as they go along...
“They said they had not agreed on how to pay for a $2 trillion bill”
Chill. Trump didnt agree with it.
Yep, it looks like to me about the only thing they agreed to was another meeting in three weeks.
Wouldn’t this be RUSSIAN COLLUSION(tm) by Pelosi and Schumer?
And where do we get the $2 TRILLION bucks??? Oh, right, we just print it on regular notebook paper because that is what it will be worth!!! I know where my state is going to get the money for their roads and bridges. Without anyone knowing what was up, our wonderful RINOs that run out state house voted in a 10 cent tax increase on gasoline. Then they are going to raise it another 2 cents, and then later another 2 cents. So, our gas prices are going up somewhere around 14 to 16 cents sometime this summer I believe it is. Just voted it in without any fanfare, just sneaked around and did it from what I was told. The republicans are not much better than the commies.
Help me out here FReepers, has anyone ever determined where the øbama infrastructure/stimulus monies went???
Trump was a legendary and capable builder when he was building his own Trump Tower. When you cook closely at his casino deals where he was building casinos with other peoples money, the story was very different.
You mean they account for things?
Uh I found what you are talking about....$7.8 MILLION IN BABYSITTING???
