Schumer says Trump and Democrats agreed to $2 trillion figure on infrastructure

Source: CBS news

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said President Trump and Democrats agreed to spend $2 trillion on infrastructure over 25 years in a "constructive" White House meeting, and will meet again in three weeks on how to pay for it.

But that number, reached in a meeting with only Democratic members present and no Republican members present, could already be dead on arrival. House Minority Whip Steve Scalise told reporters Monday there was no appetite within the GOP for a $2 trillion deal.

Schumer and Pelosi, speaking to reporters after the meeting, said the roughly 90-minute meeting emphasized the importance of broadband, bridges and highways. They insisted Congress and the White House can work together at the same time as Congress is exercising oversight in Congress.

Democrats, according to top White House counselor Kellyanne Conway, requested the meeting, and the White House didn't have a blueprint going into the meeting. Democrats have set out a handful of key — albeit general — principles for piecing together an infrastructure deal, which Mr. Trump has long believed the two sides can work together on, even in hyper-partisan Washington. The White House acknowledged Monday it does not yet have a blueprint ahead of the meeting with Democrats.

Harold Wilson plot, Treason & Conspiracy by MI5, 1968 Coup, 1976 Resignation

An interesting piece of history about right wing paranoia & how Britain's right wing establishment planned a coup, with the help of the Queen & the CIA, to overthrow Britain's Labour party rule.

An interesting thing learned was that GHW Bush was brought into the CIA as a fixer, like Barr, to clean up any evidence of previous CIA dirty tricks.
