TRUMP AGENDA - The Non-Infrastructure Plan

"Here’s what Trump’s spending proposal would fund and cut" PBS NewsHour 2/12/2018

In actually, the so-called infrastructure spending is actually a privatizing plan (aka big profit to private industry).

Excerpt

SUMMARY:  President Trump unveiled his long-awaited infrastructure plan to fix roads, bridges, and airports on Monday; as well as his $4.4 trillion outline of spending priorities.  But the plan was overshadowed by internal struggles at the White House, and questions of how top staff handled domestic violence allegations against two aides.  Yamiche Alcindor joins Judy Woodruff for more.




"LA mayor: Infrastructure fuels prosperity, and federal government needs to do its part" PBS NewsHour 2/12/2018

Excerpt

SUMMARY:  President Trump's $1 trillion infrastructure blueprint relies on states and local governments, as well as private sector investment, to provide much of the needed funding.  Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti says that his city is doing its part already, and that the federal government needs to step up.  Garcetti joins Judy Woodruff to discuss that, as well as protecting “Dreamers.”
