It is borderline criminal that Congress cannot come to an agreement on a clean, standalone, infrastructure bill.


It’s also ridiculous that this wasn’t Trump’s first legislative push and victory instead of establishment style tax cuts. Now the Democrats get to own this issue and warp it into a welfare and climate change bill

At the time, Congress had recently reauthorized a new infrastructure bill in 2015 that didn't expire until 2020. So in 2017 (when TCJA passed) infrastructure spending was not a priority. Now, we are operating on a one year extension of the 2015 reauthorization.
