Infrastructure

There was a meeting at the White House today to discuss an infrastructure package.  The coverage of this meeting is amazing.  I've read four different accounts of what happened.  We know that there was basic agreement that a package involving about 2 trillion dollars of infrastructure spending is going to be assembled.  The President and the Democrat leaders agreed to this.  The coverage, however, is limited to what Schumer and Pelosi have to say about the deal.  Schumer says that President Trump has to come up with a way to pay for this spending.  It is as if Congress has nothing to do with determining what is to be spent and how that money is to be raised.  Pelosi and Schumer talk about opposition from Republicans in the Senate even though none has been expressed.  The media is busy trying to give credit for any infrastructure work to the Dems alone.  It's so dishonest.
