Marco Rubio: Phase out Mass Transit account; cut gas tax by 80%

Marco will take a new approach in building the infrastructure for the next American century. As President, Marco will:
• Cut outdated gas taxes: Reduce the federal gasoline tax by 80%.
• Empower states to innovate: Turn back control of the highways to the states, stopping special interests from building "Bridges to Nowhere."
• Find common-sense savings: Repeal the Davis-Bacon Act that inflates government costs by billions every year and is a giveaway of taxpayer dollars to labor unions. Phase out the Mass Transit Account, which loots the Highway Trust Fund.

Hillary Clinton: Invest $250B in public transit and NextGen aviation

Hillary will fully pay for these investments through business tax reform:
• Boost federal infrastructure investment by $275 billion over the next five years. Under Hillary's plan, $250 billion would go directly to public infrastructure investment.
• Expand public transit options to lower transportation costs and unlock economic opportunity. Hillary will increase investments in public transit. She will also encourage local governments to work with low-income communities to ensure the unemployed and underemployed are connected to the jobs they need.
• Accelerate aviation technology and invest in American airports. Hillary will invest in building world-class American airports and get the Federal Aviation Administration's "NextGen" program back on track to modernize our national airspace system.
• Build a faster, safer, and higher-capacity passenger rail system. Hillary will invest in a world-leading passenger rail system to meet rapidly growing demand and build a more mobile America.

Gary Johnson: No government "back doors" into encrypted, private info

Yet, there are increasing calls for government regulation and intrusion into the Internet. Some politicians recently passed so-called Cyber Security legislation: the government is determined to insert itself into our freedom to communicate, conduct business and seek information via the Web.

The government is even demanding that it be granted special "back doors" into encrypted, private information held and moved by Internet providers. The excuse is security--a laughable concept from a government that has proven time after time to be incapable of protecting even the most basic data.

Gary Johnson has consistently opposed these attempts at government interference with the Internet, and as President, would return the government to the side of freedom and innovation--not regulation.

Donald Trump: Emmy award & Hollywood Walk of Fame for "The Apprentice"

In 2007, Trump received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and he is among the highest paid public speakers in the world. The Apprentice has raised over $15 million for charity.

Lincoln Chafee: No tapping of our phones without a warrant

George Pataki: Travel between cities should be in trains faster than planes

• Let the next decade be the decade when the American worker and innovators, the best workforce in the world, accomplish things we can only dream of.
• Let the next decade be the decade when Americans finally cure cancer and end for all time the scourge of Alzheimer's.
• Let the next decade be the decade when American energy powers the world with our own clean, unlimited resources.
• Let the next decade be the decade when Americans travel from city to city in trains faster than planes, in cars that drive themselves, and over paths we have yet to imagine.
• Let the next decade be the decade where Americans can have boundless economic growth while enhancing and improving, our natural environment.
• Let the next decade be the decade where America proves to the world: "you ain't seen nothing yet."

Bernie Sanders: Stop bailing out Wall Street & start repairing Main Street

Is this the best our country can do? No. We can and we must do better. That's why we need to invest at least $1 trillion over five years to rebuild America. This will not only make us safer, more productive and more efficient, but it will generate income and create jobs--lots of jobs. The estimate is that this $1 trillion investment will create and maintain 13 million jobs--which is exactly what our economy needs. We have ignored our infrastructure crisis for too long. The time to act is now.

There's a reason that investing in our infrastructure has traditionally enjoyed bipartisan support in Congress. It's a good idea. This funding should receive the highest priority.

It's high time we stopped bailing out Wall Street and started repairing Main Street.
