Instead of wasting more time on a budget that is going nowhere, we should come together to address our failing bridges, roads, and water system. Our future demands it, our constituents expect no less. I strongly urge the rejection of the Republican budget if for no other reason than it freezes us in this decline for infrastructure and look forward to the day when we will work together to solve this problem.

I have 190 days left in Congress, so I have been spending time on issues that bring people together rather than divide them.
We have $163 billion a year that is not paid by the top 1 percent of American taxpayers.
But reauthorizing the programs without improving them is a missed opportunity.
These things aren't going to get enacted into law, they are not going to make a difference to the American people. It is a distraction, it is a sideshow.
