I know this is dividing many on the right. Curious about everyone's thoughts on this proposal...

Tonight, Daryl, I don’t give a damn about this socialist proposal. Trump has surrendered on the illegal alien issue. I had hoped that SOMEONE would stand for American sovereignty. Now, it is apparent that my kids and grandkids will live out their years in a Third World Banana Republic.

If the majority of the people on the “right” were more concerned about what’s good for the country than they are about who else on the “right” agrees or disagrees with every point they choose to blather about we’d have never had either Clinton or Obama in the Whitehouse

Sure was fun back in the days of freeways. Got to drive to last year’s solar eclipse WITHOUT spending a thousand dollars in tolls.

I guess those days are ending...

He campaigned on it, it hits his skill set well, and there are worse things on which to spend. I’m okay with it.

The first piece of infrastructure I want is The Wall. That’s it. And the WH proposal today is for 25 billion for The Wall - that is 1/40th of this 1 Trillion dollar proposal. In its heyday, the Iraq war was costing us over 100 billion a year. My point is that funding wall construction requires only a mere pittance, and what could be more useful infrastructure than a good fence around your land?

Is it signed into law? Did you read the actual proposal or did you just hear/read the bullet points like everyone else?

If you think Trump has surrendered on immigration, you really need to get off the crack.

Is allowing 1.8 million more socialists a path to citizenship correct or not? If it’s fake news, I apologize and retract everything I’ve said. But, I doubt that it’s a phony story.
Trump narrowly defeated a brazen felon, whose husband is a rapist whom SHE defended. What chance will we have after this vomit passes?

Very specifically, I would like to see Trump demand fixing the pipes for Flint, Michigan, and other cities with excessive lead in their water, as part of any infrastructure bill. Don’t give the cities or states a choice on that one.

It is immoral that we still have high lead levels in city water for large parts of what used to be major cities. Plus it would be great politics for President Trump to do that for urban areas that the democrats have never done anything to help.

Find about five big, long-lasting problems like Flint’s water. Fix all five as part of the infrastructure bill. Watch the democrats squirm, while we enjoy making America better. Bonus? Lead causes brain damage. Less lead means fewer stupid people and thus fewer democrat voters.

Apparently Sen Cruz believes the reports, b/c he just nuked the disgusting proposal.

It’s a proposal, that hasn’t even been discussed. This isn’t a bill that they passed and Trump is waiting to sign. It hasn’t even reached a committee, let alone the floor. It’s a negotiating point.

I don’t understand how this is dividing the right. Can’t everyone see a desperate need for money spent on our infrastructure?

What am I missing?
