Democrats in Congress used a very clever tactic to get 19 Republican senators to vote for their $1.2 Trillion Democrat wish list bill, masquerading as an infrastructure bill. They included a number of pork projects that would benefit voters in their states.

This would put these 19 Republicans (if they voted against the bill), in a tough position for re-election, with their Democrat opponents thereby able to use this as a weapon against them. In each state, the Democrat senatorial opponent would spout loud & clear, how their Republican opponent voted against the project liked and needed by the folks of that state.

Democrats should take note that Republicans can use this same dirty tactic against them, and Republicans should not hestitate to do so. In fact, Republicans could start work right now at identifying what things would be critical for Democrats in particular states, and what they could not vote against.

Two can play this game.

What specifically do you object to in the bill?

Many states have failing infrastructure. What's good is that the work can't be outsourced overseas... That means jobs.

Lol, so you are going to give democrat reps things their constituents will love them for getting and make the electorate happy. Lol that will teach them. Hilarious. Good government would be new for a republican.
 
Still looking for anything specific in the bill that anyone objects to
 
That it makes Biden look superior to his blob.

The fact that Biden's leavings in the White House toilet are superior to the blob makes his job more difficult.
By passing a huge infrastructure bill, Biden accomplished what Obama and Trump tried but failed

Not bad for a dementia addled old man

THAT is a lot of infrastructure
Yes, I support it

Haven‘t seen anyone come up with a specific objection.
You have now, and if you haven't seen "anyone" with a specific objection, maybe it's because you only review leftist media. 30 senators voted against the bill, all of them expressing a "specific objection"

Hundreds more reps in the House object. Thousands of new media people have expressed specific objections. Get with it , dude.

I am not going to give anybody anything. Don't know quite what you're talking about. Do you ?

It's not an infrastructure bill. It is a Democrat wish list, with some infrastructure thrown in, to give it an infrastructure name. Where are the $$ for the terrifying Wolf Creek Dam, that could kill thousands of people in southern Kentucky and Tennessee, cause billions$$ in damage, and put the Tennessee capitol (Nashville) under 20 feet of water ?

Where is any money for the California delta levees that threaten to close the forebay resevoir supplying half the state with fresh water, and cause the evacuation of half the state ?

This is not a serious attempt at solving America's most important infrastructure problems, it's a Green New Deal thing, with infrastucture as window dressing.
