What happened to Trumps big infrastructure plan?

[Timmy]

/——/ There were no shovel ready jobs, the horrible, lying, scumbag Barack Obozo even joked about it: Obama's 'Shovel-Ready' Joke Draws Criticism, Corrections

There were plenty of Shovel Ready Jobs. Billions went to support projects in local communities

The funny part was when Republicans bitched that there were signs stating that this project was funded through the Stimulus program

Is there a list of those communities.
Nothing happened in Nassau County, Brooklyn or Queens.

Bull Shit

I live in Nassau County and visit Brooklyn and Queens a lot.
The Infrastructure project just started in 2018.

The infrastructure funding from the recovery act was not for major projects that take years to complete. They were for smaller shovel ready projects that were ready to start immediately. Projects near me went to entrance ramps, park improvement, shoulder and drainage improvements.

I can’t imagine that out of 75,000 projects funded by the recovery act, none were in Brooklyn, Queens or Nassau County

Jesus! If you’ve ever driven around NYC you know it’s never ending construction projects !

not much chatter about it. Could it be that congress started doing the tax cut math?

House Spending Bill Strikes at Piece of Trump Infrastructure Plan

Water resources legislation moving swiftly through the House and Senate (H.R. 8, S. 2800) contains few if any measures from Trump’s infrastructure proposal. And even White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders has acknowledged that it’s unlikely a comprehensive infrastructure bill will make it through Congress this year.

the real math problem was the corporate tax cut. The gop either had to get at least on dem senator to buy in, or make it "deficit neutral" over ten years.

That is, the corp tax cuts are permanent. But they didn't have the 60 votes in the Senate to enact permanent individual tax cuts. So the gop bills actually RAISE taxes on middle income individual taxes to pay for the corporate tax cuts.

Obviously the dems weren't gonna go for that. And because the gop was "repealing Obamacare" no dems would vote to waive the ten year revenue neutrality.

Jesus! If you’ve ever driven around NYC you know it’s never ending construction projects !

You mean the privately owned residential skyscrapers?
And the bridges and tunnels have been getting patchwork, not being redesigned at all.

He wanted to see a replacement for the Brooklyn Bridge

Recovery Act projects were smaller scale but they created badly needed jobs

From where?
I have no problem getting to Manhattan from LI.

A comprehensive infrastructure bill is too dull and boring for Trump, mostly because he doesn’t understand the issue, along with his complete lack of interest in sound, responsible governance.

The president doesn't write or vote on legislation. He can only sign or veto what comes to his desk. The Congress is an independent branch of government with its own authority and is in charge of writing legislation. They don't have to wait for the president to tell them what laws to write.

We learned that early on in school.

Good god almighty Jethro!

Try using a search engine before you drool over your screen

{ The first step in the legislative process is the introduction of a bill to Congress. Anyone can write it, but only members of Congress can introduce legislation. Some important bills are traditionally introduced at the request of the President, such as the annual federal budget. }

Oh, for the love of Pete. Excusing Congress from taking care of infrastructure because they have to wait on the president to write them a bill and find a sponsor? What is this, a repeat of obamadon'tcare?

He's kept quite a few promises. I'd be glad (and shocked beyond measure) if he kept them all. Most presidents develop promise amnesia as soon as they move into the WH.

Trump was always so equivocal that many kept promises, if not kept would have been seen as kept promises too. LOL

He's a NYC con man

get over it

He's now a politician. Even a few kept promises are more than expected.

I usually take the Tappan Zee Bridge to avoid NYC. Brand new and opened less than a year ago. Infrastructure built under Obama

And right in the heart of NYC.
The Tappen Zee was in the works for many years and Obama may indeed have helped.
Now back to NYC and LI.

He has kept his promise in attempting to build a wall. Congress is not that enthusiastic

But he lied to the public in saying Mexico would pay for it

A billion dollar infrastructure project in your state

Ask Trump why he killed infrastructure funding (rail tunnel) in his own city. Maybe because they voted for Hillary

It could be in Albany for all it helped almost everyone I know.

Like I said, it diverts traffic around NYC.
Also provides a major Hudson River Crossing

Critical infrastructure in the metroplolitan area

You haven’t answered my question about actual NYC driving.
In fact, you admitted you avoid it.
