U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg pledged $1 trillion in infrastructure spending over a decade if elected
DETROIT - U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg on Friday pledged $1 trillion in infrastructure spending over a decade if elected, saying the Trump administration had failed to rebuild the country’s roads, bridges, schools, and water systems.
The campaign told Reuters it would pay for the projects by reforming the capital gains tax and repealing U.S. President Donald Trump’s tax cuts. The plan includes $80 billion for expanding broadband internet access, another $80 billion for a school repair program that is based on poverty levels. The plan overlaps with Buttigieg’s proposals to address climate change by investing in a network of electric vehicle charging stations across the country.
