WHAT WILL TRUMP DO IN 2018? WELFARE REFORM, OBAMACARE REPEAL AND INFRASTRUCTURE ARE TOP PRIORITIES

BY NICOLE GOODKIND ON 1/2/18 AT 11:41 AM

The Trump administration is riding high on its historic tax plan win, and it’s hoping to harness that energy in pursuing an ambitious legislative agenda in the new year. With 2018 comes the midterm elections, and Republican senators and representatives are hoping to get a few more legislative wins under their belts before their voters head to the polls in November.

President Donald Trump has indicated that his two major priorities are welfare reform and a $1 trillion infrastructure bill, but there’s much more on the docket. In what is expected to be a busy year, here are the topics that will likely dominate your news feeds for the next 12 months.

Infrastructure

Sweeping infrastructure reform legislation will likely be the first agenda item presented by congressional Republicans in 2018. The Trump administration and the GOP leadership have been working to come together on a $1 trillion plan to revamp America’s crumbling roads, bridges, airports and railroads.

Republicans have indicated, however, that the bill will largely focus on streamlining bureaucracy and ending agency review processes instead of physical building. The bill will also focus on public-private partnerships and on halting regulations that make it difficult for companies to build.

repealed Obamacare pursuant to his tweets. Destroying programs that automatic take monies from worker's paychecks is in the making. Infrastructure deal with private companies who are quite friendly with him, his administration and the GOPs is the most important because of the profit value. But I guess inorder to pay his cronies' companies regarding infrastructure the greedy people need to destroy SS, Medicare and Medicaid alongwith ACA.
