Trump and US infrastructure...........

He's speaking about it now. He's taking great pride in giving the ok for the Keystone Pipeline. In regard to this, the companies involved in this have ties to Trump and his investments.

He's talking about eradicating the process of rules and regulations. He says he is used to these regulations in regard to his having built many "great" things.

He wants to get rid of the duplication of rules and quickly give the ok for states to go ahead with projects. He is creating a new US counsel, that will allow the council to hold US agencies accountable for holding up projects.

He wants "Permit Reform". These reforms will save $1 Trillion for US citizens. He is giving States the right to ok for projects, basically superseding US rules and regulations.

He's talking about steel mills producing all the steel needed for these projects. My better half, a retired Steel Worker, started laughing, because he knows of no steel mills existing that could do that.

Trump wants to dismantle our protections of environment and way of life in order to sound good and give his "friends" the keys to this dismantling.

one could see the glow of the furnaces a the smoke rising over Lake Michigan from Chicago's lakefront. One could smell the smoke in Chicago from all the way across the lake.

These steel mills have been idled for decades and I see no going back to those days. What's Trump smoking?
