One day last week, amid spiraling fallout over special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia probe, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi dialed up the president and requested a meeting. She talked to President Donald Trump about working together on an infrastructure package. It was the first phone call between the two since the testy days of the government shutdown earlier this year, and it seemed productive. They are planning to meet, she told The Associated Press in a Wednesday interview.

Fine, infrastructure it is. Start with the border wall.
President Trump should tell Piglosi we want a true accounting of what the democrats did with the $800 billion dollar stimulus money (aka ARRA - The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009).
It was supposed to be used to rebuild America’s infrastructure but that never happened.
(Remember Obama laughing that it turned out the “shovel-ready jobs” weren’t actually shovel-ready?)
The money ended up as Barack Obama’s personal slush fund used to enrich democrats and other leftists and to supply weapons to Obama’s muslim terrorist pals.
We’d like to know how much of the $800 billion is stashed away in the secret foreign bank accounts of Obama, his henchmen. and other democrats.
Some of the $800 billion stimulus money was infrastructure....but a big chunk was just little non-infrastructure items. I noticed one day when reviewing what cities in my home state had requested....there was one town that asked for roughly $5,000....to buy new tires for their one and only cop car, and to have a transmission job done on it. I found dozens of allocations like that for the state.
This would be a good move by Pelosi and Trump. Pick the top 50 projects in the country that will help people improve the quality of life. An example would be to fix a road which will reduce drive to and from work by an hour a day.
8 billion for a wall
60 billion for infra structure
No doubt she’ll bring him some kind of Trojan horse “gift”. Don’t leave her alone in the room for even one second. It took long enough to discover the bugs left by Obama, and then clean them out. It’s a trap.
They both want the construction industry and union votes in 2020. That is ALWAYS what “MORE infrastructure spending” is about.
