尽管普遍呼吁修复粉碎的高速公路,桥梁和铁路系统,但房屋比尔介绍了周五的账单,维持在当前水平的支出 - 建议国会不太可能很快解决不断增长的运输维护和现代化积压。
国会官员表示,两年的六年截至六年的账单,六年的账单规定了大约3250亿美元的支出,同时允许通货膨胀。
参议院于7月通过了类似的账单,持续350亿美元超过六年,但仅为前三年提供资金。行业游客已经试图回滚参议院版本的重点支出规定,他们认为是不公平的或不明智的。
交通司安东尼Foxx上个月表示,未来六年的4000亿美元是“绝对最低的投资水平”,以防止交通恶化。Others who have called for significant increases in federal transportation spending include two congressionally-chartered commissions, the trucking industry and companies that ship their goods by truck, dozens of state and local officials, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, labor unions and associations representing the construction and equipment industries, civil engineers and state transportation departments. Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, a Democratic president candidate, introduced a bill earlier this year to spend $1 trillion on transportation over five years.
房屋账单包含一项规定,如果国会能够找到这笔资金,允许运输支出成长,但前景是暗淡的。立法者正在努力确定足够的税收变化,支出削减和其他收入来源以保持其当前汇率的支出,更不用说增加它。
Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., a top party leader, and Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, have been unable agree on a way to make U.S. corporations pay taxes on profits parked overseas, money that could be used for transportation.
只要继续支出当前水平,立法者必须每年占据约160亿美元的额外扣押,以弥补进入联邦公路信托基金的燃气税和其他用户费收入 - 每年约为340亿美元 - 以及金额为公路和过境方案而言,一年的资金为公路和过境方案,每年约500亿美元。
房屋比尔由代表推出。比尔·普斯特,R-PA。,房屋交通委员会主席,小组的顶级民主党人俄勒冈州俄勒冈州俄勒冈州彼得离别。
