Ajit Pai, by this time, already did his heavy lifting in repealing Net Neutrality, and Trump has opened up some areas to offshore exploration and drilling, although some of those areas were then effectively closed back down by a nosy, black-robed git.
eliminate the NEA, dept of energy, HUD, and the list goes on and on and onHere in Washington state we had a Public Works Trust Fund. The state would put in $100 million and loan it out at nominal interest over 20 years. It should have been self sustaining but the state would take the payments and put them back in the general fund. Until they finally quit funding it all together.
The feds could do the same thing but the congress critters would just steal it blind as well.
So lets raise taxes instead.
Global warmunists (alt energy pushers) and transit advocates suffer under these stifling regulations as much as drivers and truckers do.
Kick out the illegals first.
Then let the individual states figure out what they need upgrades on — and have them pay for it themselves!
No, it isn’t. Not anymore. What I want in my candidate is deportation of illegals and visa over stayers. We wouldn’t need infrastructure “improvements”, aka tax dollar$$$$$$$$$$$$, with them gone.
I’m just afraid this will end up being a hidden bailout to those states on the verge of bankruptcy.
None of the proposals are bad.
