GOP have Trump paranoid on infrastructure.
https://politicalwire.com/2019/05/17/trump-says-democrats-are-playing-a-game-on-roads/As if the democrats would be the ones to put anyone down for raising taxes to do an infrastructure plan. As if Democrats ever complain about taxes for spending on job creation. The GOP don't want to see infrastructure built because wages will go up, we are allready at full employment, and that they hate the middle class getting more more than anything. Wages have not moved since the 1980s but the pie of wealth has gotten very much bigger. Automation, outsourcing and unionbusting have done a great deal to keep wages from rising and middle class and workers getting some of the growing part of the wealth pie. For sure the GOP do not want to see rising wages due to 2 trillion on infrastructure spending.
