$! Trillion to be spent on stuff for you and I - not the military or foreign countries.
President Trump’s proposed trillion dollar plus infrastructure program represents a rare, and potentially united feel good moment. Yet before we jump into a massive re-do of our transportation, water and electrical systems, it’s critical to make sure we get some decent bang for the federal buck.
In principle, improving our physical connectivity should improve the economy, particularly in more rural areas where moving goods is often challenging. Modernizing our dilapidated waterways, protecting coastal cities from floods, preparing better systems to store water as well as fixing the roads and eliminating traffic bottlenecks are genuine priorities.

Trump’s Infrastructure Plan Allows State and Local Governments to Make Decisions, Reduces Red Tape @ Trump’s Infrastructure Plan Allows State and Local Governments to Make Decisions, Reduces Red Tape
A truly outstanding part of the plan:
Under the plan, decision-making authority will be returned to state and local governments. Also, regulatory barriers that get in the way of infrastructure projects will be removed.
It will also streamline and shorten the permitting process for infrastructure projects, and finally, “America’s workforce will be supported and strengthened.”
In order to streamline the permitting process, the White House will work with Congress to “establish a ‘one agency, one decision’ structure for environmental reviews.” It will shorten the environmental review process to two years “while still protecting the environment.”
Also, the administration plans to eliminate “redundant and inefficient provisions in environmental laws.” Furthermore, it will “create two new pilot programs to test new ways to improve the environmental review process.”
