Repairing the nation's crumbling roads and bridges was supposed to be an area ripe for bipartisan compromise between congressional Democrats and President Donald Trump.
In Cincinnati, Trump met and spoke with two people he called "Obamacare victims". Democratic politicians regularly use stories of people who are facing a hard situation to help drive public opinion to drive the change that they desire.
Trump spoke a day after Anthem announced it would not participate in the Obamacare insurance exchanges next year in OH, a potentially crippling blow to the healthcare system. Trump says, "it's only obstruction from Democrats" and says, "It's all going to be Republicans or bust". We won't get one Democrat vote. Indeed, Schumer said that he'd spoken with Trump, offering his own support for a large infrastructure package but warning that conservative Republicans were unlikely to go along.
"They were anxious they'd fall down, and you've seen that happen, and I heard the pleas from voters who wanted to know why we could rebuild foreign countries ... but we can't build a road, a highway, a tunnel, a bridge in our own nation, and we watch everything falling into disrepair", Trump said.
At a panel hosted by the Business Roundtable on Wednesday, Cordish said the problem wasn't a lack of government funding for worker training but ineffective programs.
"Jared has actually become much more famous than me - I'm a little upset at that", Trump said of his son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner at the top of the meeting.
"Republicans are working very hard to get a great health care plan". A House plan was approved on May 4, and the Senate is trying to pass a version this summer. 'That means another 20 counties in the state of OH will have no health care plan'.

According to Berardo said he made sure there were no dress-code restrictions before Grant wore the MAGA shirt to school that day. The teen's father, Joseph Berardo Jr., called it "censorship" and believes "it was probably politically motivated".
Trump's infrastructure plan relies heavily on tax cuts.
'The last statewide insurer in the great state of OH is leaving, ' Trump said.
'Just yesterday we learned that the last statewide insurer in OH is leaving. The result in OH, he said, "was supposed to be close but it wasn't close".
Anthem said it would exit Ohio's individual exchange on Tuesday, claiming in a statement that an "increasing lack of overall predictability" had contributed to the decision that will leave 18 counties without an Obamacare exchange option.
After Trump's speech, Ohio Lt. Gov. Mary Taylor, a Republican candidate for governor, said she agreed with the goals of the president's infrastructure plan, but said she is "interested in hearing the details". "Isn't it about time?" "We don't spend our money here, we spend it all over - and we'll do it using American labor, American energy, American iron, aluminum and steel". His plan also calls for privatizing the United States' air traffic control network. "I urge the administration, through the EO, to seize this opportunity to ensure that all federally funded infrastructure projects use materials produced in the United States".
Even as his administration appears hamstrung by scandal, Trump promised that "a new era of American prosperity is about to begin, and you see it, it's already beginning".
