don't want to raise any taxes to fund infrastructure and Trump gave into them. US is at full employment and doing infrastructure now would result in increased wages. GOP can't have that. Better to wait for a time when everything is automated and unemployment is high. After all if workers don't fight inflation by never taking more of a slice of the pie in wages than they had in 1980, then everyone will have to fight inflation, including the rich.The boom might slow down if wages go up. So no taxes for infrastructure for you Trump. Make it look like it is democrats busting the agreed discussions last month.
