Trump tries new approach for $1 trillion infrastructure plan

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — As a presidential candidate in 2016, Donald Trump promised a $1 trillion infrastructure plan that would use tax incentives to spur private investment in public works projects.

He has so far failed to persuade Congress to pass anything like that.

In another election year, Trump has outlined a new $1 trillion plan for spending on roads, rails, water systems and other infrastructure. This time, the president is proposing to rely fully on federal spending. That fundamental change from his first plan drew praise from some state transportation officials and industry groups, even though Trump doesn't spell out how to pay for it all.

Since outlining his budget proposal last week, Trump has done little to promote his new infrastructure plan. A politically divided Congress has no obligation to consider it. In fact, Trump's prior infrastructure proposals all stalled, even when Republicans controlled both the House and Senate.

Cynical election year ploy.

1. A politically divided Congress should consider it

Congress needs to work to together to fix our roads, bridges and other infrastructure projects. All members of Congress were elected to represent the people who live in their various districts. We all depend on infrastructure. Congress has an obligation to serve the people regardless of party affiliation.

2. If it's a clean government spending bill, we should pass it.

It would be good for the country, but no way in hell McTurtle lets it through the Senate. Divide and conquer, baby!

3. $1 trillion more in deficit spending on top of the tax give away

Somebody should ask serious thinker Paul Ryan what he thinks about this. Oh, his family's company will get the contracts in northern IL, southern WI. Never mind.



Fucking clown show.

4. Lip service
