House Democrats on Wednesday introduced a plan to invest $760 billion over five years into maintaining and rebuilding U.S. infrastructure.
The plan (pdf), called the “Moving Forward Framework,” aims to invest the money into roads, bridges, transit systems, railways, airports, ports, inland waterways, wastewater and drinking water systems, brownfields, and broadband.
The framework aims to “create an estimated 10 million jobs, while reducing carbon pollution, dramatically improving safety, and spurring economic activity.” It is not a formal bill but serves to guide House committees seeking to eventually introduce legislation related to the country’s infrastructure.
A factsheet (pdf) overview of the plan shows that Democrats want to assign $329 billion to “Modern Highways & Highway Safety Investments.” The money will be allocated to revamp roads and bridges, and also be dedicated toward “dramatically increasing the availability of charging stations and other alternative fueling options for electric and zero-emissions vehicles.”

They always do this crap at election time and then piss it away elsewhere after the election.
To Dems, “infrastructure” means a wealth of kickbacks and liberally throwing money around in their districts, regardless of need or actual construction. “What we need is millions more for levees in New Orleans” sort of stuff.
We can't possibly need any infrastructure improvement unless you mean all those projects several large cities want and can't pay for or maybe some high speed rail in California.
The border wall is infrastructure.
Last time they took our money for shovel ready projects not one of them was done. Just paid off their RAT political machine.
Ah - another “stimulus”.
The election may be coincidental this time. The current Federal transportation funding authorization happens to expire this year.
Congress will have to pass the bill so we can see what’s in it.
I have a pretty good idea what’s in it:
PORK
Using Hilary’s campaign slogan as name?!
“Shovel Ready”
It’s not a formal bill.....aka.....a pretend bill.
President Trump should have a standing order to Pelosi, NOTHING produced in the House will be signed unless it has a 2/3rds Majority in the House.
This is the House Dems? That means the foreign aid scam is getting too hot...they need another way to keep the dirty millions rolling in to their and their family’s accounts.
Paid for how?
So When’s their election year proposed minimum wage hike?
I thought the Trillion dollars in shovel ready projects was supposed to vastly improve our infrastructure?
What the hell happened to all THAT moeny? It disappeared in months with little to show for it but a few sidewalks and crap.
Yes! The big buyouts of the unions!
FU RATS. You were supposed to do this years ago. Nothing got done after you were entrusted with a trillion. The money went to pay off people and kick it back to you all.
Get lost criminal and greedy RATS
Ahhh, come on, Barry already shovel readied everything years ago.
.....
Beat me to it. I think the 0buttHead spent a lot more. Remember all those stupid signs. ....provided by the reinvestment act, blah, blah, blah....each sigh cost 100k installed. You could see them everywhere in St Louis. ...however, nothing else was done. Just a ton of expensive signs.
For the rats. It’s either roads and bridges, or for the children. ...except when aborting them. The rats are so transparent. .sadly folks still vote for them.
