Democrats split on hiking gas tax ahead of infrastructure meeting with Pres. Trump.

Democrats were poised to meet with President Donald Trump Tuesday morning to kick off discussions on a massive infrastructure package, hoping to salvage a bipartisan moment before the 2020 presidential campaign and partisanship of a divided government overtake the moment.

"We look forward to hearing your ideas on how to pay for this package to ensure that it is big and bold enough to meet our country's needs," Pelosi and Schumer wrote."This bill can and should be a major jobs and ownership boost for the American people -- manufacturers, labor contractors, and women, veteran and minority-owned businesses."

"It's not a likely outcome," one senior Democratic aide predicted ahead of the meeting."People see what he's trying to do there, but I think there are others who think it complicates what's already a complicated situation." White House press secretary Sarah Sanders called the Democratic outreach"a good first step," but agreed that the discussions are simply a starting point in bipartisan negotiations.

Now if you can agree on all wall money! Get the walls up and fixed and keep illegals out!

Trump promised a tax cut and he delivered. Trump also promised infrastructure spending and that’s coming now too. Hate Trump if you want but he’s getting things done!

Mileystan3 Everyone gets along when they agree to spend oodles of money. Don't get me wrong, there is infrastructure that needs attending, but you know there will be a lot of glut.

Oh I bet the media is pissed it went so well. There goes a week of negativity.

TheView Trump will deal. 👍 👆

TheView Now we have to watch and see if Trump allocates the money to private companies that will in turn line his pockets, it’s always about him and money

TheView The Dems strategy is to prove that they can legislate and hold Trump investigations at the same time

This is pathetic. Making nice with Trump on a deal that has almost zero chance of happening. I hope there's some strategy here that I'm not seeing.
