The plan to
rebuild rural America
“Throughout American
history, we have been recognized as a global leader in many
areas, but we are in distinct danger of squandering advantages
we hold over other countries when it comes to our
infrastructure system,” Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue
writes this week in the pages of the Des Moines Register.
Secretary Perdue is
right—and he wisely points out that President Donald J.
Trump’s infrastructure plan would steer the Nation back
toward prosperity, “particularly in rural America.”
Here is how:
President
Trump’s plan allocates $50 billion, a quarter of
all Federal funds in the plan, to empower rural America to
address the infrastructure needs of its communities.
The
plan will give states the flexibility to address the
unique needs of their rural residents without a flurry of
bureaucratic commands from Washington.
- The Rural
Infrastructure Program will build upon efforts the
Administration has already undertaken to expand broadband
access in rural America.
“We have to make sure
American farmers and their families, wherever they may be,
wherever they may go, have the infrastructure projects that
they need to compete and grow,” President Trump said.

how the Trump Administration is rebuilding rural infrastructure
for the 21st century.

‘The end of
immigration enforcement in America’
Last week,
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA)
introduced legislation that would provide a pathway to
citizenship for 1.8 million DACA-eligible illegal immigrants in
exchange for border security resources and reforms to America’s
broken Visa Lottery and chain migration immigrant systems.
“A simple,
common-sense framework that can address everyone’s concerns,”
Sen. Grassley called the bill last week.
Regrettably, Senate
Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) led an effort to propose
entirely new legislation that ignores the deep problems with
the Visa Lottery and chain migration systems altogether. The
Department of Homeland Security offered its stark assessment:
The Schumer bill “would be the end of immigration enforcement
in America.”
Here is an in-depth
comparison of the two proposals:

‘Small-business
confidence hits record high’
“Small-business
confidence is surging in 2018 as optimism rises among
small-business owners about the newly enacted tax-reform
package,” Kate Rogers writes for CNBC.
The Small Business
Confidence Index, produced by CNBC and SurveyMonkey, confirms
the findings from numerous recent polls: Americans are seeing
positive results from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that President
Trump signed shortly before Christmas. The index ticked up five
points, from 57 to 62, reaching a record high with the largest
quarter-to-quarter surge seen since the index launched.
Furthermore, a majority
of Americans now support the tax law, according to a New
York Times poll conducted by SurveyMonkey earlier this
month. “Public opinion is moving in the direction of this
bill,” Chief Research Officer for SurveyMonkey Jon Cohen said
to the Times.
