And next election they don't get to claim dead voters, voters here illegally, voters in rest homes counting their toes and their community organizers and friends voting multiple times.“Democrats say they worry that Trump’s plan will focus on trying to entice more private investment in transportation projects and reduce regulations that require environmental reviews and community consultation on projects...”
Translation: “We Democrats have always used public spending as a way to line our pockets individually, and increase our power as a Party. An d that has to be part of your bill.”
Further proof they don’t care about anything but themselves
Any one of them would have worthy projects in their district, but that isn’t important
No $hit. They spent how much with Porkulus years ago not a damn thing got done except lining pockets of democrat party special interests?

Yep. Crooked politicians love big expensive construction projects because it’s so easy for them steal the money and not get caught.

If the infrastructure — highway, bridge, port, dam — already exists but needs upgrading, what is the point in requiring studies or permits ? Screw the “streamlining” from 10 years to 2 years. Request bids for a month and then award the contract.
As far as public/private partnerships go, all I ever hear about is “toll roads”. In the 19th century, the railroads were granted land and rights of way, and built the railroads out of their own pockets and for their own use.
We should trade some of the public lands to businesses to develop in exchange for them building the infrastructure — roads, rails, water, power — we need. No federal spending, just land grants. One benefit of a private company building infrastructure on their own dime, and then gifting it to the government, is the amount of graft and union padding and cost overruns would be less.
