Every part and piece of that infrastructure had taxes set on it to raise money expressly for it’s maint and eventual replacement. Gas taxes, road taxes, vehicle registration taxes, all sorts of taxes.
Where’s that money?
Because the shovel ready money was so well used and accounted for? Not.
You’re right but a hole works also.
To me this $2 TRILLION infrastructure discussion is akin to picking out upholstery for deck chairs on Titanic...
Titanic had fires in boiler room which they should have extinguished...
We have fires on our non-existent southern Border we should be putting out...
And Titanic did not have enough lifeboats for the numbers they allowed to sail—so many perished...
See any similarities here to the Titanic?
“Maybe if the roads were restricted to horse drawn carts...”
Plenty of horse carts in Lancaster, PA...
Poop on the side of the road too.
Making themselves rich and buying votes.
Diverted to the social program sink hole.
I believe the Rats are looking for anything they think is positive for them but this ain’t it in my view.
Trump is probably the best Infrastructure Project Manager on the planet. Democrats are going to wish they never went after Trump. Any deal with congress on this bill will get the financial scrutiny never seen before.
They’re trying to goat-rope him into making a deal that will have conservatives up in arms against him.
I want to see him get the money back from California that was to pay for the train to nowhere.
The devils in the details.
Who doesn’t want another make America paved again taxpayer scam? The last time, we saw the absolute politcal kabuki in CA with taxpayer dollars routed to certain areas.
Didn’t Obama fix all the roads in 2012?
Portland ripped up all their freeways.
Are they going to do it again?
2T they can trumpet before the next election.
I believe the Rats are looking for anything they think is positive for them but this ain’t it in my view.
I thought back in Dec. he was holding out on infrastructure for wall funding...Is my recollection incorrect?
“”improve the nation’s roads, bridges, waterways and broadband””
I thought that was what Obama’s money grab was for???
He stated yesterday he was still going to go for wall funding and they only agreed to another meeting in three weeks in today’s meeting.
We’ll know a whole lot in the upcoming three weeks and after that meeting.
Most money going to new York and California
Thanks...I had not heard he said that...
We need the wall more than ever!!!
