It didnt actually solve the infrastructure problem. keep in mind, if it takes ten years to build a road, if we throw a bunch of money at roads tomorrow, they wont be on the ground for ten years at least. you can look to the example of other countries that have more stringent environmental laws. canada and australia come to mind. they are able to enforce the laws. it only takes about two years to build a road or a bridge. these are models we can put into place. if youre not serious about change g...

Where democrats are going to stand when it comes to things like infrastructure and welfare reform. infrastructure first off after that derailment in washington, it was a deadly derailment, the president immediately picked up on the fact that our infrastructure problem which has been a problem for years, thats going to be at the top of the agenda. are democrats going to be on board? >> i would recommend that they be on board, whether you are looking at bridges or railways, aviation or high-speed ...

The train crash yesterday and used it to promote his infrastructure plan. >> let me begin by expressing our deepest sympathies and most heart felt prayers for the victims of the train derailment in washington state. it is all the more reason why we must start immediately fixing the infrastructure of the united states. >> so as the president often does, he conflates different things. we dont know yet whether this is an infrastructure problem, but hes correct in that we have an infrastructure prob...

Tacoma and where this occurred is straight and the speed limit is 79 miles an hour. and there is a slow speed sign which says 30 miles an hour for ta tallbo trains which is what this is. for some reason the speed was not cut which could be a mechanical issue or issue with brakes. >> the president when he talked about this in the speech yesterday or tweeted about this, he seemed to allude that this was an infrastructure issue that were seeing at the beginning of the year. you talk about this bein...

Infrastructure, and those types of things have contributed or been contributing to some of the horrific problems puerto rico has had in the wake of the storm. i think the point the president is making is that fema has a finite mission and a finite amount of time to be there to get people back into power and get back into some kind of civilized living condition, and at some point its up to puerto rico to get themselves out of this situation and help their people. fema was never meant to be on the...

Presidents mouth, whether he knows it or not and i think he knows it, weve been giving him too much leeway in saying oh, hes just putting out statements here and there, the fact of the matter he knows what hes doing, when he likes the wick of a firecracker it is going to blow up and whats more disturbing from tweeting that this morning the last time i looked at it over 30,000 people liked it. are you kidding me? 30,000 people liked the idea of pulling out of puerto rico right now where about 90%...

Be addressed through proper hearings. if you listen and let everybody who had something to say on this come and say it, you might come up with a better bill. i guess theres an infrastructure problem i want to ask you about. you think about medicaid, a recipient who gets reimbursement or health care by the government. what is neglected is there are some parts of america, particularly poor and rural parts of america where the hospital that happens to be a good hospital which serves three or four c...

That gas station isnt operational. theyve got one part that kind of broke so theyre waiting for that part to arrive from puerto rico. you know, and people are still living with bits of their houses in tatters. others have gone to shelters. some are in fear because of the looting that weve seen in the last 48 hours or so. so there is that whole infrastructure problem that weve seen throughout many of the islands, but also theres the sense of isolation from people in st. john. and so many people c...

Reports of flooding in miami. now i will tell you as i discussed with the mayor last night and its the same reason i say -- ive been saying the last 72 hours we have to talk about climate change here because miami floods on a sunny day. if you live in miami you know that you have seen instances of water coming up through the storm drains in the middle of a sunny day. if it gets a little bit of rain it floods. miami has a an infrastructure problem. chris hayes put it well. the city of miami is on...

The rita evacuation for a storm that never hit. >> yeah. i think a lot of people dont realize so many people died during the evacuations. in terms of what youre seeing on the ground and the coming days, how do you assess things? >> this is a big infrastructure problem. some people in this area, the newer part of town have electricity. when you get into rural areas where the grid went down and now the irrigation system is clogged with debris from this flood, the county officials are going to have...
