Sen. Amy Klobuchar said that while she just announced a trillion dollar infrastructure plan, which she called her 'top budget priority,' that doesn't mean that infrastructure is a priority over health care, adding, 'We can do two things at once.'

"It is not infrastructure over health care. We can do two things at once," the senator from Minnesota told ABC News Chief White House Correspondent Jonathan Karl on "This Week" Sunday, adding that she believes "infrastructure is an economic need."

She currently serves on the Senate’s Commerce and Transportation Committee and has proposed a series of tax reforms to help pay for the plan, including raising the corporate tax rate from 21 to 25 percent. The rate was slashed from 35 percent to 21 percent as a result of Trump during his 2016 campaign frequently promised an infrastructure plan on a similar scale and, in an infrastructure proposal released last year by the White House, the administration called forthat they said will “stimulate $1.5 trillion in new investment in infrastructure.”

jonkarl Left: I want, I want, I want !!! What the heck. Hold your horses. You’ll get the damn report when it’s ready! 😡😤

jonkarl Translation: Andrew Weismann indicted the Trump kids. Where did the indictments go? What happened to our Trump card?

jonkarl If there's evidence of Russian Hacking, then that happened during the Obama's Admin. Is anyone going to investigate?

jonkarl Give it to Hillary first.... It will be distributed to the world by the next morning from her private server.

jonkarl Who watches the AG?

jonkarl medicine is a business like it is like the surgeon gets paid for bringing his practice to a hospital and then he employs a small staff of employees to get the operations done ... maybe obscurely look at the pay scale of a surgeon and ask why that is?

jonkarl

jonkarl They will get the report. Barr, Mueller and Rosenstein are combing through it to redact Grand Jury testimony, names and classified information. They are the laws, rules and regulation. The media and the democrats already know that! Liars!!

jonkarl if we're all supposed to be business owners fighting over personal fortunes just maybe put a story in the new york times ... if we each need to have a small fortune to pay for our medical bills just maybe put the word out because i can't afford to be an employee at this rate

jonkarl Mueller said no collusion, you can’t be this stupid? ABCrap and the other propagandists, can go pound sand. Dividing America, carrying on the previous administrations legacy

jonkarl Well.... maybe they should FOLLOW THE LAW. You must redact certain things

jonkarl

jonkarl Barr's summary is as worthless as a stairmaster in Trump's workout room. Barr is that creature that lives literally on Jaba the Hut, guess who Jaba is. The man is a pathetic minion. I'll wait till I see the whole report to judge Trump's nazi sympathizing orange massive gut.

jonkarl Why are liberals mad that President Trump isn't a traitor? 🤔

jonkarl Wolf! Wolf!

jonkarl Given the Congressional Democrats propensity to divulge sensitive and classified information without proper security clearance and authorization, they, including Senator Klobuchar, shouldn't get squat!

jonkarl Report no good. I was former veteran of merchant marines who became PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR making citizens arrests against Kentucky secessionists for TREASON and SEDITION. I believe in REPUBLIC FORM OF GOVERNMENT and I know how to investigate treason. Muller no expertise.

jonkarl *Trump Cancels Russian Eye Chart Test * A relieved president has cancelled the order to have his administration take a Russian *Speed* Eye Chart Test. Trump planned to use the results as proof the WH is a Russki free zone.
