The "Infrastructure Bill" is NOT Really Changed

[Samm]

@RTchoke

So less than 50% of an infrastructure bill actually goes to infrastructure.

But how dare we question what the other 50+% is for.

For traditional infrastructure, yes. But while nontraditional, it includes money for broadband improvements, public transit, electric vehicle chargers, reconnecting cut off (minority) neighborhoods, and environmental remediation, all of which involve infrastructure of some sort.

@TheRedComet

Shouldn’t that be in a separate bill?

To me infrastructure means things like roads, bridges, ports, etc. that promote the development of commerce. I even support the provisions to entice businesses to increase investment in fast charging stations because that will assist commerce. Same with the internet provisions.

I’m down with assisting the elderly as much as possible… but stuff like that should be in its own bill.

That is the separate bill. That’s the one they are still fighting over in the Senate.

Biden got something done in 10 months that Trump couldn’t do in 4 years.

What’s that? Set the country on the road to bankruptcy and ruin?

No. Pass infrastructure legislation. I thought that was pretty clear.

Well, when you start claiming a Biden accomplishment, one never knows.

It’s NOT an infrastructure bill, it’s a leftist spendthrift bill with 5% infrastructure to put lipstick on a PIG.

This is the bill that passed the Senate. McConnel voted for it.

Is McConnell a “Leftist spendthrift”?

He’s a RINO spendthrift & in China’s pocket. Needs to go.

@Jezcoe

I think that people are sore that Biden was able to do in months what Trump could not do in during his entire term.

Get a substantial Infrastructure bill from Congress.

Heck… McConnell voted for this thing.

We are sore that this insane bill will continue the slide into hyperinflation? Nope!

McConnell voting for it is a minus, not a plus, that RINO is so far in the pocket of China he can’t see daylight. needs primaried.

Lying garbage lives in our White House.

McConnell voted on it because he knows it will help middle America… aka his constituents. His constituency is going to try to poo poo this while getting the benefits from it.

It will be a fun ride

McConnell is just another RINO.

There are over one million workers out of the workforce and they are not looking for work.

“A worker in Florida applied to 60 entry-level jobs in September and got one interview”

Florida Worker Applied to 60 Entry-Level Jobs, Got One Interview - Business Insider

Psst, from your article

He said he found it hard to believe that government money was keeping people out of the labor force, especially when the end of expanded federal unemployment benefits did not seem to trigger a surge in employment.

See last months jobs numbers. Oh and I don’t believe him, something smells fishy, why would people go to the expense of advertising for workers they don’t want or need?

Exactly. He probably had the agenda of making Biden look good so presented himself badly in the interview.

I need help too & can’t find any but I’m not going to hire someone who is presenting himself with some kind of bad attitude, or flippant, uncaring, or unqualified. What good would an idiot do me to even try to train who doesn’t care?

@Camp

I cannot fathom the logic there.

Why…Because they weren’t in lock step?

No because they are RINO’s, democrat “Lite”

Thirteen Republicans voted for it, while 6 Democrats voted against. Done deal.
This will go a long way to create jobs and get things repaired.
Now on to the next bill.
At least we finally got to infrastructure week.

%5 will go to infrastructure. The rest will be wasted on leftist insanity, the money will be printed, inflation will go up MORE, then the working people will be trashed AGAIN from the 13 RINO’s, & democrats.
How much offence is enough to primary the RINO’s? How much more do you have to see from these democrat “Lite’s” before they get thrown out, primaried, seen for what they are?

Actually … in theory … about 46% ($550 billion) is supposed to go to infrastructure.

It won’t, it didn’t before, remember the “Shovel ready jobs”? Pfffffffffffffft! It will go to every leftist cause, not infrastructure.

Nothing is clear. The democrats track record on this kind of spending is an embarrassment.

So quick to to call a demise. I prefer more of a wait and see attitude. But I guess that doesn’t go well with the constant Biden bashing.

That seems like an arbitrary division. You could break the bills up even further. There are parts on the human infrastructure side that also help commerce like education and child care.

At the time I was living in NW Arkansas and saw a lot of new construction and rebuilding projects. And they all had signs that informed the public that they were new infrastructure projects. And at the time I was doing a commute between NW Arkansas and the Dallas area. More projects and signs. And some of them I was critical about (i.e. asphalt interstate highways in Oklahoma. But I did see a lot of “shovel ready” jobs being done on the highways and bridges.

Neither should be done.

So? Bankrupting the country with democrat money printing/hyperinflation will cause a lot more problems, the goal of all this spending/printing

“Shovel Ready wasn’t as Shovel Ready as we thought it would be!” Laughed Biden’s former boss.

Not only did clueless Joe learn from the best…

But his administration has made a mess out of everything it has touched…from the virus to the border to Afghanistan to inflation to schools to crime…

Now that same bunch of lying habitual screw ups has a freshly printed $1.2 trillion that actually doesn’t even exist and is asking for more.

Having intimate knowledge of the funding pass through (to the States) systems of the DOT and FAA, I am completely confident that those portions of the funding will go where it is intended, and I have no reason to doubt that the pass through by the other Agencies involved here will do just as well.

The Shovel Ready thing was a ruse, but the funding still ended up in the State capital programs where it was intended to go.
