Why the Hell Republicans negotiating this crap aren’t bringing up the infrastructure bill from 2009?
What happened to the money from shovel-ready jobs? Who was the VP back then?
No Republicans should work with this fake President.

What happened to the money from shovel-ready jobs?

It went back to the Treasury. The reason it wasn't spent is because there were few shovel-ready jobs thanks to environmental regulations. Obama could have issued an executive order suspending environmental regulations for those projects, but that would have enraged the green lobby, which was part of his winning coalition. So some of the money was spent, but the lion's share went back to the government.
