GOP senator warns against treating funding as 'Monopoly money' as infrastructure negotiations come to a head
CNN
Pennsylvania Sen. Pat Toomey on Sunday warned against treating federal funding as "Monopoly money" as negotiations on how to pay for a bipartisan infrastructure bill ramp up ahead of a critical week.
"A very, very important category for me is how all this is going to get paid for," the Republican told CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union." "Now we're talking about another $600 billion on top of the ordinary spending. ...This is completely out of hand. There are people who think this is Monopoly money, but it's not, Jake. And so I'm concerned. I think the way we should pay for this increase in infrastructure spending is by re-purposing money we already approved, but hasn't yet gone out the door."More Related News
