This is good in theory. But unless hes willing to tell the truth about our federal governments spending capabilities, hell either tie this bill to making cutbacks or to raising taxes, the latter in all likelihood dooming the bill to failure as it did Liz Warrens student loan refinancing bill. Which means that this will have been a gratuitous gesture appealing to potential 2016 voters. Which pisses me off even more. U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) said today will introduce legislation when the new session of Congress convenes this month to authorize a $1 trillion, multi-year program to rebuild crumbling roads and bridges and invest in other infrastructure modernization projects.The investment not only would begin to address a growing backlog of badly-needed repairs, it also would put 13 million Americans to work at decent-paying jobs, according to Sanders, who will take over this month as the ranking member of the Senate Budget Committee. politicususa/2015/01/03/bernie-sanders-flexes-muscles-introducing-bill-create-13-million-jobs.html
