Bullock unveils national plans on workers, infrastructure

[TexasTowelie]

HELENA – Montana Gov. Steve Bullock unveiled two plans this week as he seeks the 2020 Democratic nomination for president; one focusing on infrastructure and the other was one he said would increase rights for working Americans.

Bullock said his $975 billion infrastructure plan offers $350 billion in highway and transit funding, offers $150 billion over five years to ensure clean drinking water, creates $380 billion in grants to reduce greenhouse emissions, and $61 billion to connect every rural school, library and health care provider to broadband internet.

“When we invest in our infrastructure, we can create jobs and revitalize communities across the country,” Bullock said in a news release.

He said he would fund his infrastructure proposals by restoring the corporate tax rate back to 31%, which he said was still four points below where it was in 2016. He also said he would implement the “Buffet Rule,” by taxing carried interest earned by investment fund managers as ordinary income, which he said would raise $14 billion over 10 years.

1. The last infrastructure bill

Was passed by Obama and Republicans are still bitching about it. If we do not clean out Congress nothing will happen. 3 years and nothing but blowhards and incompetent Judges.

2. Trump campaigned on Passing a Huge Infrastructure Bill

But he was only interested in infrastructure if all of the benefits would accrue to his big donors ….He vaguely promised Universal Healthcare but ended up trying to destroy ACA … He vaguely promised to take on Wall Street but let them go wild …. All of these phony promises helped him break the Blue Wall on Election Day …… If voters fall for Trump's act again they will deserve their fate ….

3. Democrats need to hammer hard on those points and he had a Republican Congress.

Nothing,zilch, nada. Deficit up one trillion, golf trips, 1.97 milllion. No health care,infrastructure, no lower taxes.
