Obama also signed a $305 billion dollar infrastructure bill to fund road, bridge, and railroad repairs.

And Trump's infrastructure plan is actually tax cuts and government handouts for wealthy developers and Wall Street investors.

Trumps infrastructure plan gives developers and Wall Street investors tax credits. And for each $1 they spend repairing our infrastructure they are given .82 cents of taxpayer money. And after the infrastructure is repaired the developers and Wall Street investors will personally own the roads and bridges they repaired, and then they will be able charge tolls for use of the roads and bridges.

Fair enough, but how much of that money goes to where it’s supposed too?

I cannot approve of any infrastructure spending when Democrats are the ones writing it up... No way, Jose...

This is funny......

What has he shown the ability to get through Congress?

Based on your "grades", I assume you like Bigly Words (well, 4th grade level words to be sure).

He will talk infrastructure as much as you like. I was lucky enough to live near Atlantic City and own property when he "built" all this stuff there. Billions lost including 100's of millions in taxpayer money - his "build" went bankrupt and the city was left a ghost town that the taxpayers had to bail out....until and including the present day.

I hope he doesn't so any infrastructure because it will likely fall apart like Atlantic City did.

He can't get anything through Congress because every democrat votes NO on anything he suggests, and too many of the Republicans won't work with him either.
