302 billion transportation budget before congress right now. For more on this the founder and president of americans for tax reform, grover norquist. Hello. Hi. Gerri i thought i was already paying for this, mr. I pay my gas taxes every time at the pump why is that not enough money. Because 25 of the gas tax money you pay in end up in mass transit to pay for rather expensive pensions for people who work in new york city and washington, d. C. Metros take home. Theyre not building roads with a quart of that money. Heritage foundation says more than 38 is siphoned off into nonRoad Construction and maintenance. Bike paths and things like that, in addition to mass transit. So, because they take so much money, that you think youre paying in gas taxes for roads and for other stuff, obama comes back and says, oops, we need more money. Gerri hang on, grover. There is something in the world called the highway trust fund, right . Unfortunately yes. Gerri it is facing a 63 billion short fall. So m

Updates expected from new jersey and new york. Welcome everybody im neil cavuto, and this is cavuto live, today updating you on a virus that has spread and now, gotten to the point of being the third most effected country on the planet by these ongoing cases that seem to multiple and have randomness to it that strikes people as unusual, but not unprecedented. Were also going to be looking into the big selloff at the corner of wall and broad today the dow lost more than 17 of its value in one week in case youre counting it has slid more than 35 from its highs and kind of back to where it was just only days after donald trump was elected president. Now, the fact of the matter is though these markets are still waiting to see what progress is made on th
And it is also meant to get folks attention. Charles payne and gerri willi willis. Been steyn and kennedy. Theyll be joining us next week. Charles payne, to you first and making sure you really leverage that real estate. And another superlative will be to intimidate as well because that house does that as well. Listen, weve heard Union Leaders walk out of there, men say we were never invited, we felt the presence of it, you see Business Leaders saying the same thing. And it does get things done. I think that having the cameras there, having the lights in the world looking at you, with the, you know, the highest position in the world, it works. Its been working out very well. We saw the most recent of that this week with lockheed morning saying, yeah, were going to bring down the price of the planes. That ceo has made that trek more than once. Neil theres month ago more amazing than going to the white house, whether you like the occupant or not and a lot of the folks who visit are kind
Second term if he keeps doing this . Welcome. Im neil cavuto, this is your world. For a president who has a lot of things going his way, is he the one who is ultimately getting in the way of himself and his party . A message on paper that seven and ten americans saying we like what we see even though they might not flip over the things that donald trump will say.
