President Donald Trump offered few new details of his infrastructure plan during a speech Wednesday afternoon in Cincinnati, though he did promise that "everything about it is going to be right."
That may include how support for the proposal lines up on Capitol Hill. After Trump's remarks, lawmakers on the left immediately panned his plans to potentially put the future of the country's public roads into private hands.
"Once again, we have another disappointment in the Trump administration. Not only are they not putting serious dollars into infrastructure, they're actually going to do it by selling off to private individuals and private companies on Wall Street the ability to supposedly create this infrastructure investment and these jobs," Rep. mark Pocan, D-Wis., said on a conference call hosted by the progressive Millions of Jobs Coalition. "The problem is, in places like Wisconsin, for the vast majority of our state, we're not going to see a dime, because it's not a profitable enterprise."
