predictions of doubled federal support for infrastructure construction across
our nation under President Elect Donald Trump are fading quickly, according to
a recent post on Trump’s transition website. Despite predictions of Trump
supporters Wilbur Ross and Peter Navarro that his public private partnership
based infrastructure funding and tax plan “could help finance up to a trillion
dollars’ worth of projects over a ten year period,” the most recent
transportation and infrastructure post on the official Trump administration
transition website, https://www.greatagain.gov/policy/transportation-infrastructure.html proposes federal
investment of only $550 billion over the ten year period.
