Trump: Dems blocking infrastructure to prevent me from having a win

Source: The Hill




BY MALLORY SHELBOURNE - 03/07/18 01:19 PM EST




President Trump on Wednesday accused Democrats of blocking his administration’s infrastructure plan, arguing the lawmakers just don’t want to give him a win.

“The Democrats don’t want to approve it because they don’t want to give us a victory,” Trump said during a speech to the Latino Coalition Legislative Summit. “They think we’ve had too many victories. We’ve had a lot of victories.”

Trump last month unveiled his long-awaited infrastructure proposal in a framework that called for $200 billion of federal seed money to stimulate a $1.5 trillion package.The plan would focus on the use of public-private partnerships and funding from state and local governments, as the administration works to finance projects where local governments have a stake.

Democrats have slammed the proposal, arguing it does not include a large enough federal investment to have a meaningful impact on rebuilding. Meanwhile, Senate Democrats on Wednesday put forward their own rebuilding plan, which would roll back some of the recently passed GOP tax cuts to fund an infrastructure overhaul.
