Ted Cruz on Trump’s Infrastructure Plan: ‘I Commend the President for Leading on It’

EXCERPT:

CRUZ: "My number one priority is jobs, jobs, jobs, and when it comes to aerospace and airlines in Texas, there are over 130,000 jobs in Texas that depend on the airline industry and aerospace. And by modernizing air traffic control, you know, there are about 60 countries across the globe have done this, what you see is costs going down, you see waiting times going down. You see increased safety. Right now, air traffic control is using 1950s technology, radar, and little slips of paper, instead of using GPS. On your phone you have better technology than air traffic control. We could increase safety, decrease waiting times, decrease costs, and improve the environment by having far less emissions through air traffic modernization. It should be a no-brainer. It's my hope that we will see Republicans and Democrats coming together behind a pro-jobs initiative. I commend the President for leading on it.”
