President Donald Trump has been open to a big plan to fix America’s infrastructure, and has tried working with Democrats previously, but, they were pains in the behind and caused that push to die
(CNN) House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer will meet with President Donald Trump on Tuesday in an effort to find common ground on infrastructure policy even as tensions run high over ongoing Democratic-led investigations into the administration in the wake of the Mueller report.
The meeting will take place at 10:30 a.m. ET at the White House, a senior Democratic aide told CNN.
Rebuilding America’s infrastructure has long been talked about as an area of potential cooperation between Democrats and the President since both have described investing in infrastructure as a priority. That’s no guarantee, however, that the two sides will agree on an infrastructure plan, especially since congressional Democrats and Trump rarely agree on anything.
“Our message is: Let’s work together,” Pelosi told reporters on Monday, adding, “The American people understand the need to build the infrastructure of our country. Let’s find a solution.”
It’s pretty much DOA unless Dems are willing to drop their stupid ideas
Dems want climate change, tax hikes in infrastructure deal
…
The leaders laid out other Democratic priorities: Any deal must extend beyond traditional infrastructure projects, take into account climate change, include “Buy America†provisions and provide jobs for a broad swath of workers.
“A big and bold infrastructure package must be comprehensive and include clean energy and resiliency priorities,” Pelosi and Schumer wrote. “To truly be a gamechanger for the American people, we should go beyond transportation and into broadband, water, energy, schools, housing and other initiatives. We must also invest in resiliency and risk mitigation of our current infrastructure to deal with climate change.”
So, instead of just trying to fix infrastructure, they want to delve into all sorts of other things, including Hotcoldwetdry idiocy. This should be a short meeting. Because these demands are not opening requests which lead to negotiation, they want it all or they won’t cooperate.
