While many in her party back raising the federal gas tax to pay for infrastructure renewal projects, Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren said she isn't in favor of the notion because it affects lower and middle class Americans
While many in her party back raising the federal gas tax to pay for infrastructure renewal projects, the Massachusetts senator said during her presidential campaign town hall with CNN on Monday night that she isn't in favor of the notion because it affects lower and middle class Americans."I'm open to the conversation, but what worries me is it falls hardest on working people," Warren told CNN's Jake Tapper.
When the plan was released, Republicans weren't eager to spend valuable calendar time during a difficult midterm campaign year approving an infrastructure package , especially after blowing a hole in the deficit with the GOP tax bill. And Democrats took issue with it because it would include only $200 billion in direct federal funding for new projects, placing most of the burden on state and local governments.
