Hopes for a grand $2 trillion infrastructure deal died — again.

from a year ago would rely on reversing Trump’s 2017 tax cuts for the wealthy — a non-starter for the GOP.

at which the president defended the “very fine people on both sides” of that weekend’s deadly white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Va. Each side quickly cast blame Wednesday, with Democrats accusing Trump of blowing up the meeting because he had no real plan to discuss.

How about a restructure light then? The evil and partisan congress won't allow anything to pass.

Bring back Series E Savings Bonds.

One big reason: Donald is a sociopathic narcissist who tried to extort Congress by only agreeing to do his job if Congress would stop investigating his crimes.

The answer is obvious and popular. Infrastructure, all college loan debt, and Medicare For All can be financed by instituting the following 1. Min income tax on 'all' incomes 200k of 10%. 2. Min income tax all corps income 100M of 10%, 50M-100M of 5% /1

Rescind the tax cut.

Did you all miss potus blowing up infrastructure week again, like he has every other time? Are your eyes open? Have you cleaned your ears lately?

That's... not the reason.

I believe Pelosi has a plan.

Both sides!

I was under the impression that the Democrats wanted a reduction on the now infamous trump tax cut to pay for the infrastructure bill.

If only we weren’t watching the news when this happened. DoBetter

Ridiculous. Is a 93 Trillion dollar 10 year Green New Fraud is a thing....2 Trillion is almost nothing.

NO! The main and only primary big reason is our man-child, traitorous and corrupt POS POTUS threw a temper tantrum over rightful and constitutional checks and balances in our government and stormed out of the most recent meeting with congress. Fuck you,

Wrong. Trump hasn’t offered a serious way to pay.

Um. Pretty much sure I heard the Dems were financing by taking back tax cuts to the 1%. On what planet do YOU reside?

It’s not both parties, it’s the GOP that can’t find money after having given away trillions to their corporate overlords via their tax cuts! This is the problem with Capitalism. It self destructs by killing off the middle-class! When workers can’t buy products Capitalism dies!

He is not going to try to find money for infrastructure. He's too busy stealing it for his wall and letting children die in captivity. 6, a 10yr old, died today.

ewarren has a plan for that.

Seriously? The ball was in Trump's court, and he apparently sauntered in, shit on the table, and walked out. This is not 'neither party'.

Dude. Stop it.
