    Trump quick to call for new infrastructure policy just couple hours after deadly train derailment. Had said after previous tragedies (Las Vegas and Charlottesville), it was too soon to talk policy and waited to understand what happened first.https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/942827072824672262 …

    The train accident that just occurred in DuPont, WA shows more than ever why our soon to be submitted infrastructure plan must be approved quickly. Seven trillion dollars spent in the Middle East while our roads, bridges, tunnels, railways (and more) crumble! Not for long!

        The President's budget request on trains was described thusly: "a nearly 13 percent reduction in transportation spending over fiscal 2017 ... and a $630 million reduction in subsidies for long-distance Amtrak routes." http://washingtonpost.com/local/traffica …

        Also, that accident was the 1st run of a 180 million dollar rail improvement project in that area. Not f'ing "crumbling." Maybe we could wait to see what the @NTSB finds?

        So a new rail project under Trump derailed and killed people? All this winning.

        I didn't blame trump. I blame the GOP for blocking Obama's infrastructure bill. And Trump for giving rich people a tax cut to take away from the middleman. So, Trumpster get it right.

        Why isn't anyone in the media pointing out that these tracks are owned by SPRR and are not public property? If anything, this is another clue that privatization of infrastructure is a bad idea.
