They all knew President Donald Trump has been promising a massive plan to rebuild Americas infrastructure since the day he descended that Trump Tower escalator in 2015 and announced his unlikely bid for the White House. And they all knew that no plan has yet been announced. And that makes many people antsy, even angry. Those who live off government largesse are eager for his rhetoric to turn into a golden shower of dollars. And those millions of Americans stuck in traffic (the average driver is jammed up 43 hours a year) or rolling their eyes at the (sad!) state of New York Citys LaGuardia Airportboth former Vice President Joe Biden and Trump have likened it to a Third World countrywant someone (anyone!) to do something (anything!) to fix this damn mess.

who would then update the infrastructure and institute tolls on the bridges and roads. I guess it's better for now that nothing is done, at least until we can have a Democrat running things.
