During the campaign, Hillary proposed funding $250 billion for infrastructure. Then, Trump raised the ante to $500. Recently, in his meeting with Obama, he was talking in terms of $1 trillion, which is still short of our $17 trillion deficiency.
Trump reiterated a constant democratic issue: if we will simply fund the needs for infrastructure, we will create jobs and get the economy to a better level.
The past resistance to this idea came from the republicans in congress, but there is an inverse similarity in the early 90s. The republican always want welfare reform. Democrats were always stuck in the mud. Finally, only a democratic president could bring concurrence to the issue.
Likewise, only a republican is bringing concurrence to an issue always supported by Dems.
