Just wait.

I haven’t read the “bill”, obviously. From what I’ve read about the bill, I don’t have many objections to the categories.

Be interesting to see what comes of it.

You should read it.

Higher gas prices AND a per mile fee.

That’s the way to keep America running. :+1:

“They tried for years to do infrastructure, but they couldn’ t get it done…”

No, it’s not Trump’s fault that the Democrats passed a bipartisan infrastructure bill. We all agree on that.

What part of the bill is this?

I know what you mean, but it also makes me sad how little we’ve devoted since midcentury.

Even the current backup with cargo ships is, in no small part, because our ports are too small now.

Look it up.

I’m not your Google monkey. You can easily download and read it like I am doing.

Could you be more specific? I included an AP summary of the legislation.

Well that’s not good.

Why not a link to the actual legislation off the Senate website? You think the media is giving you everything that’s in there or the shiny objects that make people nod in agreement?

It’s also misleading. There’s no blanket “per mile fee” in the bill, as that poster suggests. There’s a pilot program that would study the effect and viability of a per-mile driving fee among a group of volunteers. Participants would be fully reimbursed for any charges they pay.

Can you explain how that works? Is it free and paid by the tax payer? Is someone making a profit? If so, who? And why should tax payers build their business for them?

Because it’s ■■■■■■■ Hannity.com? This thread got relatively little attention as it is; I included a summary, which is about the level of rigor we do here. Dropping a .gov link seemed like a bad idea.

Reimbursed by whom?
