Doesn't every president plan to fix the infrastructure in order to create jobs and make the country strong again lol? We spend untold millions (maybe billions over the years) in band-aid fixes to roads and bridges. No one wants to pull the trigger and do what needs to be done. Raising taxes is a death sentence for people that are really only interested in getting re-elected.

POTUS in the latest interview said he wanted $1 trillion+ plus to go into infrastructure. Barry was doing about 300-400 billion sporadically throughout his presidency just for maintenance. the numbers will probably be even higher than that as I don't see this as a one-time thing, it'll be multiple bills over a few years. they are going to have to get creative. @TundraKing87 I didn't vote Trump because of civil liberty concerns. left President blank. but if he gives us high-speed rail, I'd put his name down in 2020.

It's not different now because it wasn't different then. Here's your "totally not in the pocket of business guy" defunding a government agency tasked with subsidizing renewable energy tech:The Department of Energy (DOE) has stopped processing the paperwork on tens of millions of dollars in research that its Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) has agreed to fund.
DOE officials aren't saying why they have taken this unusual step, dubbed a “no-contract action.” It went into effect earlier this month and affects more than a dozen projects across four new ARPA-E programs. The move, first reported by Politico Pro, includes a gag order on ARPA-E program managers, leaving investigators in the dark about the status of their grants. The resulting uncertainty is having a devastating impact on research teams, scientists say, and even threatens the viability of small companies for whom these major awards are so important.

http://fortune.com/2016/09/07/hillary-clinton-donald-trump-oil-donations/Hillary Clinton has significantly out-raised Donald Trump in the oil and gas industry, an important venue for campaign financing that has historically served as a boon for Republicans, according to a new Wall Street Journal analysis.
As of the latest fundraising cycle at the end of July, employees in the oil and gas sector had donated $525,000 to Clinton’s campaign, compared with $149,000 to Trump’s team, the newspaper reported.
That’s outside of the $470,000 that members of the industry gave to a fundraising account Trump holds with the Republican National Committee. But even that pales in comparison to Clinton’s DNC account, which took in $650,000.

The question now is whether private investment- coupled with regulatory relief -- is a model the Trump administration could use to finance and expedite his promised $1 trillion infrastructure push, and not just in Texas.
The president has said his plan will include private and public funding. But there appears to be little appetite in Congress to spend big on infrastructure, especially as Republicans are preparing to cut taxes.
Texas Central's entrepreneurial approach, which neatly sidesteps the politically charged appropriations process on Capitol Hill, could be a faster way.
Chao giving the green light is more than nothing, but barely. This article shares my pessimism, you'll note.

President Donald Trump and his administration halted a $13 billion federal spending plan to rebuild a crucial Amtrak passageway from New Jersey to New York. The administration said there was "no such agreement" to pay half of the cost to rebuild the commuter tunnel that services tens of thousands of New Jersey commuters despite Trump's calls to spend more money on infrastructure in 2018.
Top Federal Transportation Authority officials pulled the plug on an Obama-era agreement with New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie Friday, Crain's reported, after the governors sent a proposal to receive half of the project's costs in loans from the federal government. The gateway tunnel project aims to rebuild a tunnel that brings New Jersey commuters into Penn Station, which sees about 600,000 commuters in a single day.

So you have no response to the fact that you had to argue against your own source? Who taught you how to argue? Trump?Faith means not wanting to know what is true. Friedrich Nietzsche
I'm a polyatheist -- there are many gods I don't believe in.So you're admitting that Trump and his administration will have little to do with it?
ignoring that this is all speculation anyway, mine being positive and yours relentlessly negative, I imagine their role will be to provide support, both legislative/advisory and some financial. most important from fedgov is the push and acceptance of states plans already in place (Texas), or helping them to make their plans more efficient and less expensive (Cali/Florida).Are you not familiar with Trump's well documented record as a serial liar?
meaningless statement. every President lies on a number of issues, do your homework. what we're talking about is a key campaign issue which, according to what we've seen in this past year, I feel reasonably confident he'll make an attempt to fulfill.So you have no response to the fact that you had to argue against your own source?

you are dense. I've been arguing for Trump's admin being on board this whole time. then I showed you that Chao, who works in the executive branch as head of the DoT, okayed it. if the doom and gloom you believe to be true held here, she would've walked away "becuzz OIL!"
the other thing is, what you bolded spoke to issues on Capitol Hill, meaning Congress, which is a separate branch if you did not know. then I clarified and said that part was dated, since McConnell appears to be more on-board from recent comments. if typing a few words into a search engine hurts and you want to be spoon-fed another link confirming that, I can't help you.
you are flailing against and not doing a good job of it. nothing I have said belies any assertion I've made. stop with the verbal traps, and the negativity. this is a good thing and is likely to get done.rest in peace Chris Arnett, playersupreme.
you will be missed. love you man.Uh....you do understand how long a project like that takes correct?....GameFlux: Unofficial GameFAQs board browseralso, in your screaming about the money-men, it should be noted that the DOE officials didn't say why they put the kibosh on those programs. but it is you repeatedly saying high-speed rail won't happen "CUZZ OIL!...an gas!" thats your connective link here I suppose. where is your proof for that? or am I just supposed to take your word?rest in peace Chris Arnett, playersupreme.
you will be missed. love you man.
