Thanks Carl!

It's nice to hear news about politicians agreeing on something for once. Let's hope they can get the republicans to agree on it so that it passes.

Right on, mc. With the robust economy we have going for us, money should be no problem.

$2,000,000,000,000 does sort of, kind of,  seem like a lot of money (-:


To put it into perspective, it's 400 times more money than Trump was asking for to build the US's barrier along the southern border. 

Of course we would be getting much more than just the desperately need barrier.........and the illegal aliens will have nice roads to drive on too (-:


Here's an idea...

How about we spend only $1,995,000,000,000 on infrastructure and use the other miniscule fraction.............on a barrier along our southern border (-:

The debates will be about how to spend it as well as how to raise it.   I wonder if we'll hear the "17th century solution to 21st century problems" gambit or something of that vernacular?
