infrastructure and nancy pelosi would not even allow a single vote on that amendment. i've been pushing our leadership here in the house, john boehner and eric cantor, to allow for a six-year highway bill to move forward. now, why is a six-year highway bill significant? number one, it's about $400 billion to $500 billion of infrastructure investment, close to ten times what the president wants to spend, number one. number two, it's over six years, so the infrastructure community, the construction industry -- >> why don't you become a democrat? >> i don't need to become a democrat. >> because your republican leadership isn't backing this. >> no, no, no. the same reason president obama hasn't advocated for a six-year highway bill is the same reason that the republican leadership hasn't offered the plan, is because you've got to come up with a way to pay for it. john boehner two weeks ago in a speech here in d.c. said he's looking at doing a six-year highway bill using the current gas tax coupled with revenue from offshore leasing of offshore drilling rights. i don't care what the pay fors are, but ronald reagan passed
