Both parties have promised to get going on this critical need. The issue, as always, is how to pay for it.
This, unfortunately, is a partisan issue. What ever one party tries to do the opposition does what it can to get the plan to fail. "See how they failed. So, vote us back in. We will fix it.". And the pendulum swings back and forth and we, the people, see nothing really happens.
