New infrastructure

A new infrastructure bill is coming up soon and the democrats will have to decide if they will go along with something they have wanted for years and risk the credit going to Trump or oppose it in the hopes of proving that Trump cannot get things done. The democrats got such a bill in 2105 with bi-partisan support but it didn’t pan out as planned. Recall there were no shovel ready jobs. Here is a recap of the 2015 bill. Congress scored the first of what could be a series of bipartisan year-end victories late Thursday night with the final passage of a $305 billion measure to fund roads, bridges, and rail lines. The Senate approved the highway bill on an 83-16 vote. All but two Democrats—Senators Elizabeth Warren and Tom Carper—voted for it Obama will sign the bill into law, as it fulfills his long-running push for lawmakers to pass an infrastructure bill even though it is significantly less than the $478 billion he sought in his own plan earlier this year.The House cleared it, 359-65, earlier on Thursday. It won unanimous support from Democrats The result of this bill as graded by the American Society of Civil Engineers was a very poor D minus.
