It looks like there is not going to be any grand Infrastructure Plan this year to rebuild our nations roadways, rail lines, shipping, and airlines. While there have been substantial nuggets thrown into bills like the omnibus spending budget one that passed last week and local and state governments are taking up some of the responsibility, there appears to be no grand design or vision to project where and how to modernize our country which is very sad for us as a nation. Democrats have rightfully said that the federal government has not committed enough resources to any infrastructure plan and Republicans think the Trump Plan calls for too much federal funding. If the President could somehow get infrastructure funded through tax cuts, Republicans would be falling over themselves to sign up. This is a national priority that both sides need to find solutions on. Our future as a great power depends on it.
