(Politico) — Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid Tuesday bashed the House’s transportation bill as a “love note to the tea party.”
Reid said that former Presidents Ronald Reagan and Dwight Eisenhower wouldn’t recognize the GOP bill, which would sever a link between federal gas tax revenues and mass transit that was put into place nearly 30 years ago.
“The House bill reverses 30 years of good policy, of dedicating funding each year for mass transit. The policy was enacted in 1982 by that ultraliberal Ronald Reagan,” Reid said, noting media appearances Reagan made to emphasize infrastructure investment and President Dwight Eisenhower’s vision for a national interstate system. “Maybe someone had read something to him or told him about General Eisenhower, how much he believed that the transportation system should keep moving forward.
“Our House colleagues, our Republicans, have gone in the direct opposite direction,” Reid added. “They have a bill that’s a love note to the tea party.”
